Looking out the window, you wouldn’t necessarily believe what kind of temperature readings are promised for next week.
The weather forecast published by Foreca on Friday certainly brings good news to many. Even though the whole country has had quite snowy and cool weather by the standards of April, it is coming to an end soon.
In the coming weekend, several low pressures will arrive in Finland from the west, which will cause a cold air mass to push into the Arctic Ocean. As a result, the frost starts to recede all the way from Lapland.
In the southern and central parts of Finland next week, the temperature may rise to 10–15 degrees.
The first week of April has been quite cold, but it has been particularly cold in Northern Finland. In Lapland, 30 degrees below zero were measured at several observation stations the night before Friday. The coldest readings were measured in Salla’s Naruska and Savukoski’s Tulppio, a freezing -31.8 degrees.
No more snowballs
On Friday, an exceptionally large amount of snow fell in the southern and western parts of Finland, which caused, for example, traffic chaos in Helsinki. During Friday evening, the snow showers have started to move to the eastern and northern parts of the country.
The wind weakens at night, and in the southern part the degrees move between 0 and 3 degrees below zero. In the central part of Finland, on the other hand, it is 2–8 degrees below zero and in the northern part 5–15 or colder.
During the weekend, the weather will change again, when most of the snowfall will move to the eastern side of the country. It can be sunny in places in the west and north.
The temperatures, on the other hand, will still remain cool. On the night between Saturday and Sunday, it will be 0-10 degrees below zero in the south. In northern Lapland, it can be as much as 20–30 degrees below zero.

Temperatures on the positive side
On Sunday, the rains will start to come mostly as water in southern Finland. There may also be gusty and strong winds in the southern and central parts.
In the central part of Finland, it will initially snow on Sunday, and rain may come in its wake. In Northern Finland, the rain mostly comes as snow, and it can snow a lot.
On Monday of next week, there may still be snow showers in the northern part of the country, but in the southern and central parts the rains will come in torrents and torrents. In most parts of Finland, it is 2–8 degrees warm.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the temperature will rise above zero in almost all of Northern Finland. In the southern and central part of the country, it can be 10–15 degrees in some places. If the cloud cover cracks, the temperature can even rise to more than 15 degrees.
