Seasons in Finland

Seasons in Finland.

The average temperature in Finland varies from region to region. In the southern and Eastern regions of the country dominated temperate Maritime and continental climate. In Northern Finland the climate shifts from continental to Arctic type.
Seasons in Finland vary a lot. Each season is different, but summer is the best time to visit Finland.

Summer

Because of the long, cold winter Finns celebrate their summer very passionately. Some go to music festivals, offering a choice of jazz, blues, rock, opera and chamber music. Others are sailing among the coastal islands or enjoying slow life at their summer cottages – swimming, fishing and cooking dinner on the grill. For three brief – but oh, so sweet! – months, the temperatures soar high and the sun does not set at all.
