What would be the climate of Finland in April?

Question

I'm traveling 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
