Finland is set for an unsettled and increasingly autumn-like weekend, with rain and thunderstorms expected across many parts of the country from Friday afternoon, according to Yle meteorologist Henriikka Heikinoja. The change in weather will bring cooler conditions after a relatively mild start to the weekend. Lapland is expected to experience the wettest weather, with more persistent rainfall forecast, while western parts of Finland should remain comparatively drier. In the south and central regions, temperatures are expected to reach between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, while a cool northeasterly airflow will keep temperatures in Lapland near 10 degrees.
Conditions should become drier and somewhat clearer across much of the country towards Friday evening. However, rain is likely to persist in northern Finland, keeping the region cooler and wetter as the weekend progresses. Temperatures will drop noticeably over the weekend, with much of Finland expected to remain below 10 degrees Celsius by Sunday. The cooler conditions, combined with rain and thunderstorms, are likely to give the country a distinctly autumnal feel.
The cooler trend is expected to become more noticeable as the weekend progresses, marking a clear shift toward early autumn conditions in Finland. Residents should prepare for chilly temperatures, particularly on Sunday, when daytime readings are likely to stay below 10 degrees in many areas.
