Summer heat is set to return to Finland next weekend after rain and cooler temperatures move across the country early this week, according to weather service Foreca.
Monday will bring rain to several regions as a low-pressure system approaches Finland from the west. Temperatures will then fall, with much of the country staying below 20°C around the middle of the week.
Warm air will start moving into Finland from the south on Friday. Foreca expects a hot air mass to reach the country during the weekend, with temperatures in southern Finland having a chance of reaching the Finnish heatwave threshold of 25.1°C on both Saturday and Sunday.
