Tag: Summer

According to a popular proverb, the Finnish summer is short but at least there’s very little snow. Fortunately, the joke is not true. Especially in Helsinki and elsewhere in Southern Finland fine summer weather lasts up to four months from May to September.

In Lapland, the season is shorter: the actual summer months are July and August.
