"Arctic Freeze and Floods Ravage Europe: Scandinavia to Germany Grapple with Severe Weather Chaos"
The Nordic countries are experiencing extreme cold weather, with thousands left without power and transportation systems disrupted due to snow and gale-force winds. Temperatures have dropped as low as minus 43.1 degrees Celsius in Finnish Lapland, and heavy snowfall has led to traffic chaos and stranded motorists. Meanwhile, heavy rains in Germany, France, and the Netherlands have caused floods, leading to evacuations and at least one death in France.
