The first week of winter vacation in Finland will see milder cold temperatures with limited snowfall, as reported by meteorologist Ilkka Alanko from Foreca.
During the first week of winter vacation, Finland is expected to experience milder cold weather with temperatures ranging from -7 to -15 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Ilkka Alanko notes that while the typical cold conditions persist, snowfall will be minimal throughout the week. The winter vacation will be observed in Uusimaa, Varsinais-Suomi, and Satakunta schools, along with participation from Ã…land Islands.
Despite the promise of beautiful winter weather, conditions may not meet the expectations of vacationers, as overcast skies are predicted to dominate the landscape. Some breaks in the cloud cover may occur, but generally, cloudy weather is anticipated. The forecast highlights that even though the immediate period may see a slight respite from severe cold, colder temperatures will return in the following week, particularly affecting Central and Northern Finland.
Looking ahead, the following week is expected to bring harsher frosts, with nighttime temperatures potentially dropping between -20 and -35 degrees Celsius. This scenario will impact regions like Häme, Pirkanmaa, Pohjanmaa, Central Finland, Kymenlaakso, Southern Savonia, and South Karelia, suggesting that those planning to ski and enjoy winter activities must prepare for much colder conditions than initially anticipated during their winter breaks.
