By Tuesday, a high pressure zone will move in from the south, bringing clear skies to most of Finland.

The warm spell will also see frost-free nights everywhere in the country with the exception of Finnish Lapland.

No rain in sight

Spring rain is not expected to bring any allergy relief to sufferers as dry conditions are expected to continue this week. Grass fire warnings extend from southern Finland up the western coast.

This spring's heat record of +19.3 degrees Celsius was set last Thursday in Kemiö in the south-west.
