Arna Sif Guðmundsdóttir and her friends found themselves navigating the intense heat of Copenhagen during a recent European heatwave. While Guðmundsdóttir characterized the extreme temperatures, reaching up to 34 degrees Celsius, as a "luxury problem," the group ultimately decided to return to Iceland in search of more comfortable weather.

The heatwave, which has significantly impacted continental Europe, made even simple activities challenging. During their time in Copenhagen, they happened upon Gunnar Ólason, the founder of the band Skítamóral. Ólason reportedly found the heat too oppressive to even consider performing.
