In Finland, it has practically not rained during the whole of April.
Emergency services contained several wildfires in southern Finland on Tuesday. The terrain is very dry in those parts of the country where the snow has already melted completely.
The snow line now runs along the line from the south of Vaasa to Mikkeli.
Fire brigades received alerts to extinguish wildfires on Tuesday during the day at least in Nurmijärvi, Mynämäki, Pyhtää and Merikarvia. According to preliminary information, the fires did not cause extensive material damage or personal injuries.
In Finland, it has practically not rained during the whole of April. Meteorologists have predicted a change for next weekend, after which the path of low pressure may hit Finland.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute has issued grass fire warnings for the next four days in southern and western Finland. The change in weather is anticipated by the fact that a driving weather warning has been issued for Saturday in the central and northern parts of Lapland.
