What is the climate like in Finland?

Most parts of Finland have a maritime climate. Because of the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, Finland's climate is much milder than other regions at the same latitude (such as Siberia and Greenland). For example, in July, the temperature in southern Finland is similar to that in Britain, the Netherlands and Belgium. Because the weather is dry, even if the temperature is low in winter, it will not give people the feeling of being too cold. Summer in Finland is June, July and August. On particularly warm days, the temperature can reach 25-30 degrees Celsius; The average temperature in summer is 65438 08℃. In summer, the temperature of the lake is very warm. The average temperature in the south is between 18℃ and 20℃, and the average temperature in the north is around 16℃ and 18℃.

Because Finland is in the extreme northern latitude, the sunshine time in Finland is particularly long in recent months, while in Lapland in the north, the sun cannot be hung high for nearly two months. This natural wonder is called "midnight sun". Even in the southern coastal areas, the summer sky will never be completely dark. The darkest sky is before sunrise, but it will still be as bright as morning and evening. In summer, not only the outdoor activities are obviously longer, but also many big cities and towns in Finland are celebrating the midsummer without darkness. January is usually the coldest month. It began to snow in central and southern China in early February, and most areas began to melt at the end of April. As for the north, the snowfall lasted from 10 to the middle of May of the following year. February is the traditional skiing season. In Lapland in March and April, people can still play in the snow under the sun 16 hours every day. Even in unusually warm winters, there is always enough snow in northern and eastern Finland for people to do snow activities. In Central Europe, the air humidity is relatively high during the snowfall season, which makes people feel uncomfortable outdoors. However, Finland is very dry and gives people a relatively comfortable feeling, so Finland has always been particularly popular with winter sports enthusiasts. Contrary to summer, the sunshine time in winter in Finland is very short. In northern Lapland, 1 February and1month are dark, with extreme night. But this phenomenon is conducive to the appreciation of the Northern Lights. According to statistics, the farther north the latitude is, the greater the chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
