The week in Finland begins with clear, cold weather as the last remnants of weekend snow showers disappear. Meteorologist Ilkka Alanko from Foreca reports frigid morning and nighttime temperatures, especially in areas with clear skies. As Monday progresses, temperatures in southern and central Finland will rise slightly, ranging from -1 to -10 degrees Celsius, while northern regions can expect temperatures around -15 to -17 degrees Celsius, particularly during the coldest nights ahead.

On Tuesday night, temperatures may drop as low as -10 to -20 degrees Celsius in many areas, marking one of the coldest nights of the week. Wednesday has been forecasted as the coldest day, with widespread freezing temperatures anticipated across southern and central Finland. This cold spell signals a significant change in the weather by mid-week as forecasts indicate a transition to milder, more unstable conditions across southern and central Finland, with rain showers expected to move in.

This expected change in weather patterns will have implications for daily life, as residents may need to prepare for the fluctuating conditions, switching from winter gear to rain-preparing attire. The shift highlights the unpredictable nature of weather in Finland, reminding citizens to stay informed about local forecasts, especially as temperatures oscillate and precipitation begins to increase.
