November weather forecast
Finland

In Finland, November is a quintessential winter month, characterized by falling temperatures, increasing snowfall, and a significant reduction in daylight hours. Average temperatures usually vary from -5°C (23°F) in the north to 3°C (37.4°F) in the southern regions, underscoring the onset of the severe Finnish winter.

While the southern cities of Helsinki and Turku benefit from the moderating effects of the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift, they too succumb to the winter chill during November. Northern areas, especially Lapland, experience much harsher conditions, with sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowfall.

Daylight hours in November are minimal, and the sun often fails to rise above the horizon, particularly in the extreme north. This phenomenon, known as the Polar Night, begins in late November in the northernmost regions. Despite the darkness, the breathtaking Northern Lights often illuminate the sky, offering an enchanting spectacle.

November also sees a significant increase in snowfall. The entire country typically receives between 70mm (2.76") to 90mm (3.54") of precipitation, most of which falls as snow. This leads to the formation of a thick snow cover, particularly in the northern regions, dramatically transforming the Finnish landscape.

As November transitions into December, the winter conditions intensify, with temperatures plummeting further, and the Polar Night setting in the northernmost parts of the country. This harsh weather marks the start of the Finnish winter's peak, which lasts until the early months of the new year.
