What a difference a week makes

Finland is not known for fast variations in the weather. The seasons tend to change gradually and weather fronts generally move at a rather mellow, unhurried pace. This past week, however, we witnessed one of the more dramatic change of seasons that I’ve seen here – it almost resembles a toned-down version of the Bostonian spring.

The image below left was taken on March 26th, i.e. Wednesday last week. The one on the right was taken today with temperatures breaking the +10C barrier for the second day in a row. Admittedly we’re talking about a difference of only ~15C, but when placed in the right spot on the temperature scale, it makes a world of difference:

    This type of things is quite frequent here I think.
    Yesterday for example, it was hot (about 15°C) and sunny, people were wearing t-shirt..
    This morning, it was raining, there was wind and it was a bit cold..
    Right now it’s going to change.
    The weather here is very unstable =)
