Five centimeters of wet cloth on Finland's face – It is raining here
Finland is expecting variable weather this weekend with rain and mild temperatures, according to the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
This weekend, Finland will experience a variety of weather conditions, with the Finnish Meteorological Institute predicting a continuation of foggy and drizzly weather in the southern and western parts of the country. On Saturday, temperatures in the south will range between 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, while in the central regions, temperatures will hover just above freezing. Persistent mild weather is expected to effectively melt any existing snow cover, particularly in the southern regions, where brief appearances of sunshine are forecasted, especially in Northern Lapland and along the coast of the Bothnian Sea.
On Saturday, a warning has been issued for pedestrians due to slippery conditions across a wide area. As the weekend progresses into Sunday, a small area of low pressure is moving into Finland, though the forecast carries some uncertainty. According to the latest predictions, areas south of Jyväskylä may receive approximately five centimeters of wet snow during Sunday, potentially leading to challenging travel conditions and further impacts on existing weather patterns across the region.
Overall, this weather forecast indicates a significant transition into the early winter conditions, as rain and mild temperatures give way to potentially wet snowfall. The situation warrants caution for outdoor activities, as shifting conditions could contribute to hazardous surfaces and travel issues.
