Finland braces for rainy, windy weekend as low pressure moves in

A low‑pressure system arriving from the south will bring rain and gusty winds to Finland on Saturday, especially across the western coast and Åland, with accumulations of up to 20 mm. Temperatures will range between 15 °C and 25 °C, with the eastern parts remaining drier. By Sunday the main rain band is expected to shift toward Sweden, while Finland will see mostly clear skies, though isolated showers may still occur in Lapland.

The early‑next‑week outlook remains warm, with daytime highs around 20 °C to 23 °C across most of the country. Showers are forecast for the east and north, accompanied by possible lightning. Lapland is under a warning for strong thunderstorms, with gusty winds and heavy rain expected later today.
