In a recent forecast, Anna Latvala, a meteorologist from Foreca, provided insights into the likelihood of a winter storm affecting Finland. Although earlier predictions suggested the storm would bring significant snowfall, it now appears to be veering south of Finland towards the Baltic region and into Russia. As a result, the potential for any snow to affect southern Finland remains uncertain, with authorities stressing the need for residents to stay updated on evolving weather conditions.

Latvala explained that the situation remains fluid, and while there is a possibility of some precipitation reaching Finland, it is not guaranteed. The latest forecasts are indicating that the storm may avoid bringing substantial snow to the country, contradicting earlier warnings which hinted at the potential for heavy snowfall, possibly even reaching dozens of centimeters. In light of this uncertainty, it is advisable for the public to be cautious and prepared for the impending cold weather rather than a significant snowstorm.

As temperatures across Finland are expected to drop significantly, with daytime highs in southern and central regions hovering between -5 to -10 degrees Celsius and even lower temperatures in the north reaching around -20 degrees, people are urged to dress warmly and stay informed. Despite the storm's trajectory shifting away from Finland, the cold front will have a noticeable impact on the weather, calling for residents to remain vigilant as the week progresses, especially those planning outdoor activities during the colder days ahead.
