Climate chart - Nuorgam (Finland)
The climate of Nuorgam is subarctic, with freezing winters and cool summers.
The village is located at the 70th parallel, in the northernmost point of Finland, but it is not the coldest because it is partly influenced by air masses from the North Atlantic.
The sun does not rise (polar night) from November 26th to January 17th, while the midnight sun can be seen from May 17th to July 28th. The white nights, when the sun sets but it doesn't get completely dark even at midnight, occur before and after the period of the midnight sun, ie from April 11, and until September 2.
In winter, there can be cold spells of arctic origin. The coldest record is -45 °C (-49 °F) and was set in January 1999.
In summer, there can be short hot periods, although less often than in the localities of Lapland located further south. The highest record is 31.8 °C (89.2 °F) and was set in July 1988.

The best time to visit Nuorgam is the summer, in July and August, since they are the mildest months. However, you must take into account some rainy days and a bit of cold at night.
