Revontulet näkyvissä Etelä-Suomessa tänä viikonloppuna
Aurora Borealis, or Revontulet as known in Finnish, is a breathtaking natural light display that has captivated humanity for centuries. While traditionally associated with the Arctic Circle and Lapland, this weekend offers a rare opportunity for those in southern Finland to witness this celestial phenomenon.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has confirmed that the Northern Lights will be visible across the country, including in the southern regions. This news has sparked excitement among locals and tourists alike, as they eagerly anticipate the chance to witness the dancing colors in the night sky.
Meteorologist Eveliina Tuovinen from FMI has shed light on the forecast, revealing a medium probability of auroras in central and southern Finland. However, in Lapland, where the Arctic Circle reigns supreme, there will be a high probability of spotting the Northern Lights.
Tuovinen emphasized the importance of clear skies for optimal viewing conditions, noting that cloud cover may hinder visibility in northern regions. Despite this, she expressed optimism that the weekend’s weather will cooperate, providing a magical backdrop for the celestial show.
For those eager to witness the Northern Lights in all their glory, Tuovinen recommended keeping an eye out around and after midnight on Saturday. This prime viewing time offers the best chances of experiencing the full splendor of the auroras as they paint the night sky with vibrant hues.
