Weather of Finland


The Weather of Finland largely depends upon its geographical location. The city of Finland lies between 60° and 70°N, which is the Eurasian continent's coastal zone. The Finland Weather experiences a beautiful contrast of severe winter like that of Alaska and warm summers. The Weather of Europe is absolutely versatile. Here you can witness chilling winters to warm summers.

The northern region of the country stretches beyond the Arctic Circle, which enables the Finish people to witness a long duration of sunshine during the midsummer. The main factors that influence the Climate of Finland are the direction of air flow. Due to the proximity of the Baltic Sea, and strong influence of the air flowing over the Atlantic Ocean, which gets warmer by the Gulf Stream, the Finland Climate remains higher than Siberia and south Greenland, which also lie in the same latitude.

The Keel range results in the 'föhn' phenomenon that makes the Weather of Finland warm when the westerly wind prevails. But the Finland Weather is often influenced by the Asian continental climate resulting to severe cold winters and extreme hot summers.
