Finnish weather vocabulary is closely tied to the country's climate and geographical location. Due to its northern latitude, Finland experiences long, cold winters with heavy snowfall, and short, mild summers. The Finnish language has a rich vocabulary to describe these seasonal changes and weather phenomena. Weather plays a significant role in Finnish culture, influencing various aspects of daily life and traditional activities. For example, the Finnish sauna is often enjoyed after a cold winter day to warm up and relax. Additionally, weather conditions impact outdoor activities such as skiing, ice fishing, and berry picking, which are popular in Finland.
