Finland braces for oppressive heatwave with temperatures nearing 30 degrees, thunderstorms, and high humidity
Finland is experiencing a period of unstable weather, with heavy rainfall and possible thunderstorms expected before a dramatic warming trend brings near-tropical conditions by the weekend. Meteorologists warn of an "extreme" shift from cool, rainy days to temperatures potentially exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, marking one of the most significant weather transitions of the summer. Ilta-Sanomat reports that temperatures in eastern Finland, particularly Kainuu, could exceed 25 degrees Celsius as early as Thursday, earlier than previously forecast. Yle adds that the warmest conditions on Thursday will be in Kainuu, where temperatures may rise above 24 degrees.
