Foreca’s new monthly forecast promises that the weather will continue to be warm even until the beginning of October. Next week the temperatures will resemble July.

– The week starts out sunny for us and the temperatures are at the level of the usual mid-July, but as the week progresses, the weather becomes cloudier and rainier and at least a little cooler. The week as a whole is still clearly warmer than usual, Foreca meteorologist Joanna Rinne says in the weather blog.

According to the monthly forecast, the average temperature in Finland is up to 4–6 degrees warmer than usual. Temperatures of 20–24 degrees are predicted for the southern and central parts of the country at the beginning of the week, and 16–21 degrees for the north.

– By the end of the week, it will probably be 16–23 degrees in the southern and central parts of the country, and 15 degrees on both sides in Lapland, says Rinne.

In a large part of the country, according to the monthly forecast, rain will either be the usual amount for the time or in some places slightly less than usual. In the western and northern parts of the country, it is rainier than average in some places.

In the third week of September, the weather is still warmer than usual.

– Although the strongest high pressure has already moved further east over Finland, the week is still warmer than usual and the amount of precipitation is usual.

The monthly forecast shows signs of warmer-than-average weather also for the end of September and the beginning of October.

– Based on the monthly forecast, warmer than usual weather will continue for us in the weeks starting on September 23 and 30, at least in the weekly average temperatures.

Rainfall is pretty close to normal. At the end of October, Finland tends to be rainier than usual.
