Field notes
The structural climate filter is the light cycle, not the temperature. December has ~5 hours of daylight; June has ~18. Winters are cold-grey (Jan -3°C, regular snow but the Baltic moderates extremes). Summer (June–August) is mild and bright (peak 17°C). Plan for SAD lamps and vitamin D supplements if you commit to a winter stay.
