The spring-like high-pressure weather is expected to continue this week, according to weather service Foreca.

The beginning of the week will see mostly clear skies and daytime temperatures of 10–15C, with northern Lapland cooler at 3–10C.

By Wednesday, some cloud cover may arrive from the southeast, but sunny conditions will persist, especially in the southwest where temperatures could reach 16–18C.

Nights will be chilly, hovering around freezing, although cloud cover may keep eastern temperatures slightly above freezing.

As the week progresses, high pressure remains influential, with potential rain showers expected in southern areas by Thursday, and local showers in the west on Friday.

Overall, it will be sunny and dry with daytime temperatures between 10-15C, rising to 15–18C in the south and west by the weekend, while nights become milder with frost likely only in the east and north.
