Most of Finland has a subarctic climate but the southern part has a humid continental climate. Temperatures are comparatively mild for its latitude because of the moderating influence of the North Atlantic Current, Baltic Sea, and more than 60,000 lakes.
Finland has four very distinct seasons, but on average the winter is really dominant and year is really cold and dark all over the country. From November to March, and sometimes even till April, the thermometer is often below zero Celsius and -20 Celsius is nothing special during February. In Sodankylä (in Lappi) has had -40 degree Celsius and below several times in the last 10 years. The summer is really short, lasting about 2-3 months and is usually at 15-25 Celsius depending on the location.
Finland has three main kinds of weather, the coastal weather and the inland weather and the north weather. The coastal weather (especially the area between Vaasa-Turku-Helsinki) is a lot windier and warmer than the inland and the north weather (pretty much everything north from Oulu) is a lot colder and darker for longer period of time.
Winters of southern Finland (average temperature of day is below 0) are usually 4-5 months long, and the snow covers the land about 4 months of every year, and in the southern coast, it can melt many times during winter, and then come again. The coldest winter days of southern Finland are usually -20 C, and the warmest days of July and early August can be 25-30 C. Winters in north Finland are nearly 7 months long, and snow covers the land almost 6-7 months every year. Summers in the north are quite short, only 2-3 months. The highest temperatures on the warmest summer days of July, are rarely above 20-25 degrees in northern Finland.
Summers in southern Finland last from about late May to mid-September, and in the inland, the warmest days of July can reach 35°C.
Summers in the north are quite short, only two to three months, but can still see maximum daily temperatures above 25°C during heat waves.
Winter can last from mid september till april (meaning full snow cover). snow cover on average 1 to 2 feet in south and 2 to 4 in the north. Temps can be down to -35 to -50 in celsius.
