So there you are. Standing at the airport of Stockholm. Waiting for your flight. Checking the weather app. How's the weather in Reykjavik now, or in Hong Kong? Hmmkay and then you see a fahrenheit/celcius number... OK, soooo how hot is it? Is this lovely sweater you're wearing maybe too thick. Iekk what to wear?! Maybe the Climate Simulator can help you to decide what to wear at your destination.

Sooo what's the Climate Simulator? Stockholm's airport offers this unique weather service where you can actually feel how warm or cold it is at a destination. And you can hear and see your destination. It's like having a preview. “With the climate portal we wanted to explore the possibilities of not just taking you to your destination, but our destinations to you. A direct link to the whole world,” said Michael Persson Gripkow, marketing director at Swedavia. Ladies, this simulator might be handy if you still don't know or you should wear the dress you've packed in your handbag or just stick with the outfit you're wearing at the moment.

Anyway, the simulator is a portal where you can enter three different rooms. You can enter the following rooms:
  • Go Cold room: Here you can feel cold northern winds, hear barking dogs, see winter landscapes. Step into this room and the portal will take you to places such as Kiruna, Tromsö and Reykjavik
  • Go Hot room: Feel the heat while hearing sounds of cicades in Dubai, Doha and Fort Lauderdale
  • Go Big room: This room is awesome. Hear the buzz of the city and smell different kitchens in the world. For a moment you're in Hong Kong, NY or LA.
The portal is a huge success! It has had over 40.000 visitors so far. Too bad that it's a temporarily addition to Stockholm Arlanda Airport. You can visit it till August 31.
