FMI issues thunderstorm warnings across all of Finland on Friday
Thunderstorms, particularly severe in the west, are expected to sweep across the whole country on Friday.
On Friday, the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) issued thunderstorm warnings across the entirety of Finland. The storm front, arriving from the west, prompted the FMI to warn of dangerous or potentially dangerous severe thunderstorms throughout the country. Yle meteorologist Elias Paakkanen stated that thunderstorms would begin in the west during the afternoon.
In contrast, the eastern regions would experience warm and sunny conditions. As the stormy front moved eastward later in the afternoon, thunderstorms and heavy rainfall were expected to intensify. By Saturday, the storm would have moved further east, with sunny weather anticipated across most of Finland. However, there were still chances of localized rain and lightning along the eastern border and in central areas.
Saturday's temperatures were forecasted to range between 20-25 degrees Celsius, cooler in the northern parts of Lapland.
