Spring has taken a swift turn in Finland, according to Foreca's monthly forecast, indicating that the mild weather will continue into late March and early April, with temperatures rising above average. The highest temperature recorded so far in March was 13.2 degrees Celsius at the Kalbådagrund lighthouse in Porvoo. As the month comes to a close, daytime temperatures will remain between 5 to 10 degrees, while northern regions will experience slightly cooler conditions and occasional nighttime frost.

On Friday, Lapland will encounter areas of rain and snow moving from west to east, while the southern and central parts of the country will enjoy sunny and dry weather. However, the weekend will see an increase in wind strength and cloud cover on Sunday in many areas. Looking ahead to next week, Finland will be positioned between two high-pressure systems, similar to much of Europe, leading to a transition from sunny dry conditions to windier and cloudier weather with rain expected.

The changing weather will bring varying precipitation throughout the country, including both rain and snow. The total amount of precipitation for the week could be above average for this time of year, indicating a significant shift in weather patterns as spring fully sets in. This forecast will be closely monitored as it can impact various sectors, including agriculture and tourism, especially as Easter approaches, when many people plan outdoor activities.
