Autumn was unusually warm

According to the statistics of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, this autumn (September–November) was unusually or exceptionally warm almost throughout the whole country. For example, Rankki in Kotka recorded the warmest autumn of its observation history of over 90 years.

‘The average autumn temperature in the entire Finland makes this the fourth warmest autumn in our recording history. Autumn 2020 was the warmest one and only about 0.17 degrees warmer than this autumn,’ says meteorologist Pauli Jokinen.
