Weekend weather: Sunshine in the south, wet and windy up north
Highs of 22 degrees Celsius are expected in the south on Saturday.
This weekend's weather forecast for Finland paints a picture of contrasting conditions across the nation. In the southern regions, the outlook is clear and sunny, with temperatures reaching up to 22 degrees Celsius on Saturday, particularly along the coastal areas. However, the northern and eastern parts of the country will experience a different story - a low-pressure front will bring scattered rain showers on Friday, which is expected to persist into the weekend.
According to Yle meteorologist Elias Paakkanen, the inclement weather will be particularly strong in Finnish Lapland and the eastern regions, where temperatures will hover around a chilly 10 degrees Celsius on both Friday and Saturday. Despite the rain, the south is set to bask in sunshine on Saturday, marking a stark contrast to the overcast skies and gusty winds forecast for many southern and central parts of the country on Friday.
By Sunday, the weather is expected to clear up across most areas, with temperatures ranging from a mild 22 degrees in the south to a cold 14 degrees in Finnish Lapland. The Finnish Meteorological Institute has issued a warning of strong winds, reaching up to 15 meters per second, for all southern and central areas, as well as a thunderstorm warning in the southeast.
