It’s a challenging time for the media industry with volatile tech algorithms and advertising markets hitting even the biggest of newsrooms. That’s why I wrote a few weeks ago that it’s such a relief that our focus here at The Local isn’t the tech giants, but our readers.

But it’s also a challenging time for foreigners in Sweden, with tougher migration laws looming on the horizon.

We’re a small newsroom – but if you include our readers we’re in fact a huge team, and we want to take a moment to ensure that we’re continuing to meet your needs. Please fill out the survey below to suggest topics and stories we should cover in the year ahead.

WEATHER

TELL US: How do you cope with heatwaves in Scandinavia?

With temperatures soaring across Scandinavia this week, we want to hear about how you cope with Nordic heatwaves and whether they feel worse than they do back home.

TELL US: How do you cope with heatwaves in Scandinavia?

A temperature of 25C (77F) might not feel like a big deal in many countries, but in Scandinavia, it’s warm.

While Scandinavians are generally used to colder temperatures, there’s more to it than this: The way cities and buildings are designed — to retain heat rather than keep cool — goes some way to explaining why temperatures that feel like a regular summer day elsewhere seem so severe in the Nordics.

READ ALSO: Why are temperatures of 25C considered a heatwave in Sweden?

We’d like to hear from our readers in Norway, Sweden and Denmark about how they experience hot temperatures in these countries compared to elsewhere, and what they think could be done.

Have a look at the survey below and tell us what you think. If you can’t see the form in your browser, click here.
