Particularly strong winds can blow in the western sea areas.

Tuesday hailstorms are becoming more common throughout the country. Locally, it can rain heavily.
“Right from the morning, rain and thundershowers start to develop in Lapland and the western part of the country. Towards the afternoon, they become more common in almost the entire country.”
Only in northernmost Lapland does the rain remain less.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute warns on Tuesday from violent thunderstorms in several provinces.

A week in the middle, a small high pressure forms over Finland, and the weather changes to a dustier direction and warms up, especially in the south.
Individual hailstorms are still possible in some places.
“Generally, we reach well above 20 degrees. Helleraja is still a bit cloudy, but at least it would be close enough to be used in the southernmost part of the country,” Salonen commented on Wednesday’s weather.
Heat is also possible in southern Finland on Thursday.
The day will be dusty, especially in the eastern part of the country, but the next rain area will approach from the west during the day, which will spread to Lapland and in the evening also to the western part of the country.

Local hailstorms are also possible during the weekend.
“Unstable weather will continue on the weekend as well,” says Salonen.
