QUESTIONS:
LAPLAND
How
is the weather during summertime?
Normally the temperature various between 15-25° degrees Celsius from
late May to late August. Some summers are colder, some really hot. The
weather can change very fast in Lapland. But like we say up here;
"There is no bad weather, only bad clothes".
Can we swim in the lake during summertime?
Yes, there is a small "sandbeach" close to the house. If the
summer is hot and nice itīs great swimming. It all depends on weather
conditions. But if it is cold in the air You can always wash by taking a
nice hot shower outdoors with a nice view on the lake. Usually the water
is bit warmer on the bothnian coast where a lot of people go swimming.
See "stuff to do" for further information.
Are there any neighbors close to the house?
Yes, two right next to the house (50-100 meters). Within a 5-10 minutes
walk it is possible to reach 12 different houses of different shape and
size. These neighbors are not visible from my house. Nice people, all of
them.
Is
there a problem with mosquito's in the summertime?
Some people are bothered, some ainīt. Mosquito's are all over Lapland during summertime. Some years
there is more, some less.
Kikkijaure Lake is no exception, but since the house is so close to the
lake (with a slight breeze) there is less mosquito's than in other
places. Birds (that live on the front porch) also help to keep the area
around the house "clean" by feeding on mosquito's. Usually
mosquito's donīt hang around during daytime, they tend to prefer the
evening and nighttime. There is protective sprays and
creams available in most stores in Lapland. Inside the house all
mosquito's are killed by a small electrical device called
"spira".
