What would be the climate of Finland in April?

Question

I'm travelling from India to Finland by mid of April. Could you please tell me what would be the climate in Finland in April? also what kind of clothing shall I take with me?

Answer 1

Typically in mid-April the temperature is up to +10C (normally +2-6C) during day time, and it may get few Celsius degrees minus during night time.

There should not be much (if not at all) of snow left in the ground by then (in southern Finland).

You should prepare for rain also when choosing clothing. Allthough it does not rain so much in April normally.

Clothing otherwise (if you are a male): If you wear a suit, you will need to bring a coat on top of that (rain coat type of coat is best, not very heavy but still protects from rain & wind). Otherwise during daytime you may manage only with sweater in some days, but prepare to have some sort of free time coat also (light coat). You do not need to prepare for freezing weather though.


Hope this helps!

Ps. I presume you are visiting southern Finland, since it may well be somewhat colder in northern Finland.

Ps. 10C = 50F, -3C = 26.6F

In spring, the mean daily temperature rises from 0°C to 10°C. Spring begins in early April in Åland and the southwestern archipelago and later in April elsewhere, except for northernmost Lapland, where it does not begin until early May. Thus, spring begins a month earlier in the south than in the north. Its duration ranges from 45 to 65 days, being longest in the islands and coastal regions. because of the coolness of the sea. Once the mean daily temperature exceeds 5°C, the thermal growing season is considered to have begun. This takes place about one month after the beginning of spring: at the end of April in southern Finland and at the end of May in northernmost Lapland.

Average temperature: 3C
Average precipitation: 37mm

Answer 4

It is really tricky, because springs vary a lot in Finland.
Also, a lot depends on where you are going in the country.
It could be even +20C in the South, when it could be full winter in Lapland! One day it could be nice and the next snowing. The weather is quite unpredictable, so be prepared for everything...

Colder then "H", it's above the Arctic Circle.
