The Eight Seasons Approach
|
Winter | December to April | Lapland is cold and dark in winter. But winter also brings light. White snow makes the light even brighter. |
Spring-winter | April and May | The sun can warm us and skiing is still possible. The snow can be crusty. |
Spring | May and June | The sun can warm us and skiing is still possible. |
Spring-summer | June | The midnight sun is here. Nature is becoming green and ice disappears on lakes. Salmon fishing starts. |
Summer | July-August | The cloudberries get ripe. So do other berries. Nice time for salmon fishing. |
summer-autumn | August | Evenings are getting darker and the air is getting a little colder and crisper. The warm nights of August belong to summer. The light is a bit more melancholic. |
Autumn | September-October | Nature offer the 'ruska' colours - the autumn colours. Frosty nights are here. Nature is getting ready for winter. Reindeer mate now. Leaves begin to fall and lakes become covered with fog and thin ice. Snow can fall. |
Autumn-winter | November | The sun goes below the horizon and the frost can bite. It is the time of the famous blue light of the winter darkness (Kaamos time) |
