However, the weather system's winds were not as powerful as expected. While there were some storm-strength gusts in sea areas by Helsinki and Porvoo, Tuesday night saw average wind speeds of around 18 m/s. Storm wind speeds range between 21-32 m/s. There is a risk that some rivers in affected areas could flood, but the threat of widespread flooding is not anticipated, according to Karusto. Meanwhile, Northern Lapland got a dusting of snow overnight, and the precipitation system is expected to move south towards North Ostrobothnia and Kainuu on Wednesday night. Karusto said this might mean the first snow of the season in those areas. Additionally, cold air from the north is also headed in the same direction, so it will be chilly there, too. Other parts of the country will be relatively cool too, with many areas seeing temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius. In Lapland, temperatures could drop below 5 degrees.
