Lapland's exceptional warm spell is a record – temperatures to fall next week
Published
According to the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Lapland has recently been warmer than usual. An expert says this warm spell is exceptional, and nothing similar has been seen in about 30 years. On some days, temperatures have been clearly higher than normal for this time of year.
According to Rimo, temperatures in Lapland will fall next week, however. Daytime temperatures next week will be around 3–5 degrees. This is still slightly warmer than usual, but the drop in temperature is clearly noticeable. Night frosts may return in the Lapland region, and people are advised to prepare for changing weather.
The warm spell has attracted attention because winter weather in Lapland is usually cold and snowy. Warm days have affected, for example, the snow situation and tourists' plans. The development of the weather is being monitored closely, and the latest forecasts can be found on the Finnish Meteorological Institute's website.
