Thermometer looks real, no way to say if it is in Finland based on the picture.
Edit: u/celestialraisin has posted in Finnish, so the chances are high for it being in Finland 😀
-36 is not uncommon.
The indicator on the left is used by skiers do determine which types of lubricants / wax / etc to add to the bottom of the skis. +5 C and above is marked with a warning sign to indicate it is pretty crappy day for skiing.
Yes
Yes, surprised?
It was only -18.5 today here in Helsinki, but up in Lapland it was well below 30C, so -36 is absolutely believable.
It’s legit – the record cold for today was -39,9C, and it’s quite likely that isn’t the max cold for this winter.
I’m just in my cottage in Finland, and I regret cheaping out on my outside thermometer, which only goes down to as low as -25 C …
In other countries it is a thermometer for food in a fridge or freezer, but for Finns it works just fine for comfortable outdoor temperatures.
I find it funny, that everything above +8 has a warning sign.
Impressive thermometer.
Today was cold af. It was at least -27°C near Laihia.
I just can’t imagine how cold that is, I can’t feel my fingers at 3°.
Yeah, I have one of those on my window too, and it’s currently -28°C and will drop to around -37°C this week. It is what it is lmao

I’ve been in colder in Canada. 🇨🇦
It was -30 in Pietarsaari tonight so entirely possible it was colder a bit up north
Is it like all-time record?
Currently -20°C at southern Finland, so wouldn’t be surprised if this was in Finland.
Ähtärissä on huomenna noin 30 astetta pakkasta
