Many parts of Finland will see sunshine and warmer autumn weather in the early part of this week.
Temperatures during the day on Monday will range from a high of 17 degrees Celsius in the south to 11 degrees Celsius in Finnish Lapland with a similar outlook forecast for Tuesday, as drier air moves in from the north.
“It’s worth going outside to enjoy the autumn colours in the sunshine,” Yle meteorologist Aleksi Lohtander advises.
Monday will also see scattered rain showers across the country, as well as a chance of a thunderstorm in the south.
Conditions in central and northern parts of Finland will start to clear up on Monday after stormy weather on Sunday. Many other areas saw heavy rainfall over the weekend.
Although daytime temperatures remain at the same level throughout the week, Lohtander notes that the nights will be chilly, especially in the west and the north, where the mercury could even drop below zero.
The outlook for the latter part of the week suggests rain showers in the east and north on Wednesday, which are expected to spread across the entire country by Thursday.
