Article Sources. As you head north and east, winter gets even colder and longer. The numerous lakes that are located in Finland are frozen, and even the sea can sometimes freeze more often in the Gulf of Bothnia, but sometimes, even in the port of Helsinki and in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland , and it is necessary to resort to icebreakers to allow maritime traffic to continue. The thaw usually occurs in April, at the beginning of the month in southern Finland, and at the end of the month in Lapland.
In autumn, the snow normally begins to fall in October in Lapland, and in November in the south. May and September are two transitional months, during which the night temperatures are usually around freezing, and the only months with a mild weather are the three summer months, from June to August, when it can even get hot during the day. In this season, the vegetation grows rapidly, to take advantage of the short period of mild temperatures, while mosquitoes literally invade the landscape.
Lapland In Lapland , the northernmost part of Finland, the climate is cold for most of the year, with a short and intense summer. Here, the winter which in Nordic countries is the season when the temperature remains below freezing lasts seven months, from October to April.
The days are very short from November to January, and in December, you almost never see the sun, also because of the cloud cover.
