Strong wind gusts expected to intensify across Finland today

Strong wind gusts that have challenged Finland over the weekend are expected to intensify today across much of the country, according to the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Thunderstorms may occur from Pirkanmaa to Kainuu. Meteorologists advise residents to prepare for potential weather-related damages, such as fallen trees. When navigating waterways, it is also essential to pay attention to wind warnings and the possibility of thunderstorms.

Despite the gusty winds and severe weather conditions, the southern and central regions of Finland can expect quite hot and sunny weather. The Finnish Meteorological Institute indicates that temperatures may rise to as high as 25 degrees Celsius in some areas. In contrast, northern Finland will experience cooler and rainier weather.
