Stockholm breaks 84-year-old cold record
« on: June 04, 2012, 04:23:09 PM »
“Winter hits Europe,” says this article in The Local. “The capital’s temperature only reached 6 degrees Celsius, the lowest June maximum daily temperature the city has seen since 1928.”
 
“It was actually colder in the capital yesterday than on Christmas Eve.”

Meanwhile, more half foot of snow fell in Northern Sweden.
 
“Residents in northern Sweden were forced to grab shovels rather than sun lotion on what was supposed to be the first day of summer, as much of the region was left covered in a thick blanket of snow on Friday – as much as 20 centimetres (8 inches),” said The Local.

Part of the headline is misleading, as it was the coldest June day for 84 years, not the coldest overall day.

Even this newspapers head line is not right should say For June in there.

Yes but it was the coldest June day in Stockholm for 84 years - the headline implied it was colder than any other day (including winter ones) there for 84 years. The "20 years" referred to another (northern) town which recorded the coldest June day anywhere in Sweden for 20 years.
