A snowless Christmas is expected across most of Finland, with snow guaranteed only in Lapland, according to the latest monthly forecasts from ECMWF and Foreca . The forecast indicates temperatures above average through the remainder of December and into January. Southern and central regions will likely remain free of snow through Christmas Eve, with temperatures staying above zero both day and night. The warm conditions are due in part to a föhn wind expected to blow across Finland during the Christmas week.
