Climate of Finland
Finland’s climate is temperate; it shifts from marine in the south to continental in the north. During the year, the country is dominated by westerly winds. The peculiarity of the northern part of Finland is a polar night that lasts two months. Winter here is moderately cold. Precipitation is recorded every month. The height of the snow cover decreases from north to south.
The weather in Finland can be quite unusual. Finland combines warm summers and frosty snowy winters, short sunny springs and colorful autumns. However, any time of the year here can surprise you with the rapid changes in weather conditions. A warm sunny day can be drastically replaced by torrential rain and bad weather. This is due to the year-round action of cyclones, which come from the southwest and south in winter, and from the southeast in summer.
