Finland set for weekend of sunny spells and scattered showers
Prepare for both rain and sunshine if you're out and about this weekend.
Finland is bracing for a weekend of mixed weather, with scattered showers and sunny intervals forecast across the country, according to Yle meteorologist Elias Paakkanen.
Rain showers are expected to move northeastwards, starting with southern and western regions on Friday afternoon. By the following day, the band of showers will have drifted into central and eastern parts of Finland. However, Friday will remain mostly dry, although it will be overcast in Finnish Lapland, interspersed with occasional sunny spells.
Daytime temperatures on Friday are projected to range from a high of 15 degrees Celsius in the southern areas to a cooler 10 degrees Celsius in the northern parts.
Saturday is expected to bring the heaviest rain, particularly in the eastern and northern parts of the country, although showers are also anticipated in the southern areas during the morning. The afternoon, however, is forecast to be sunny, with temperatures in the southern and central regions averaging around 16 degrees Celsius.
Sunday's forecast suggests a low-pressure system will bring rain showers to the southern and central parts of Finland early in the day. Nevertheless, the sun is expected to reappear during the afternoon, signaling the end of the wet spell.
