Weather stays dry before wind and rain reach Finland

Finland will have mostly dry, summery weather through Friday, but winds will strengthen and scattered rain will become more common over the weekend, Yle reports.

On Thursday, high pressure will keep conditions largely dry. A few rain showers will move across southern Lapland during the day. Southern Finland will be partly cloudy, while central Finland will be sunny.

Temperatures will range from just above 20 degrees Celsius in the south to around 10 degrees in northern Lapland.

Friday will also be mostly dry, although isolated showers are possible in eastern Finland. Lapland will warm by a couple of degrees, while temperatures in the south will fall by about the same amount.
