Temperatures expected to reach about 10C in Copenhagen and highs of 5-6C in Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki
Nordic countries are often associated with cold, snowy winters and temperatures well below zero celsius. However, this year unseasonably mild weather is forecast to move in across Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland over the Christmas period, with temperatures well above the seasonal average.
A particularly mild air mass is expected to arrive on Christmas Day, with temperatures widely rising above 0C (32F). Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki will probably have highs of 5-6C on Christmas Day, with a high of about 10C in Copenhagen. These temperatures would be 4-5C above the seasonal average, but the highest anomalies will be found further north across Finland, where temperatures in Rovaniemi – the capital of Lapland – will be up to 8C above average with an expected high of 2C on 25 December.
