Finland sees continued rainy spell as temperatures rise to 25 °C
A cold front keeps much of Finland under rain and cloud cover at the start of the week, with temperatures generally ranging from 15 °C to 20 °C. By mid‑week conditions improve, especially in the east, where daytime highs may reach 21 °C‑25 °C and occasional sunshine appears. Thunderstorms are possible in several regions, and isolated showers may linger into the weekend.
In unrelated international news, an Iranian oil tanker reportedly struck a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting statements from Iranian officials and regional media. Crude prices fell by more than five percent, with Brent trading around $91 per barrel and WTI near $84. French President Emmanuel Macron has summoned an emergency meeting to address massive wildfires raging in southwestern France.
These developments highlight a mix of persistent summer weather in Finland and heightened tensions in the Middle East and Europe.
