FINLAND'S CLIMATE



Seasons and nature in Finland
- We have four different seasons in Finland. The temperature can change on a large scale.
- The Finnish nature is very pretty. Nearly 75% of our area is woods. We have more trees than you have :) Mostly of our trees are pines, spruces and birches.
- There are lots of lakes but they're quite shallow. The biggest lake is Saimaa.   
- January and February are the coldest seasons and July is the hottest season of the year.
- We have more rainy than sunny days.
         
Spring
- It’s quite cold (0 - 10 degrees) in the spring. In Finland spring lasts from March to May. The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer. 
                
Summer
- Even you wouldn't believe it, Finnish summers are quite warm. The temperature is more than 10 degrees above zero and we are really proud of that. In the middle of summer we often have nightless nights when the sun doesn't set at all. 
                
Autumn
- The autumn is very colorful period of the year, because there are red and yellow leaves in the trees and on the ground. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. Finnish autumn starts in the beginning of September.  
                
Winter
- The winter is very dark and cold. The temperature can be over - 20 degrees. There is a lot of snow and we're going to drown in it, so if you want to you can come and take all the snow from our backyards :) 
In the matter of fact, we don't fight or ride with the polar bears or whales (but we guess that the polar bears could like this weather.)
