Temperatures of over 20 degrees Celsius will warm the residents of northern Finland next week, as the mercury is predicted to rise to over 25 degrees already by Tuesday in Lapland.

Highest temperatures forecast for July 24, 25 and 26, 2017

Yle's meteorologist Kerttu Kotakorpi says that the south and heart of the country will have to wait a bit longer to enjoy the warmth, as more rain is expected on both Monday and Tuesday. Even so, temperatures will hover around 20 degrees when the clouds pass.

Next week is looking to be one of the warmest weeks Finland will see this summer, which has been notable for its unseasonably chilly temperatures and rain.
