Autumn storm could reach Southern Finland on Wednesday

AN AUTUMN STORM is expected to hit parts of Southern Finland on Wednesday, Joonas Koskela, a meteorologist at Foreca, revealed to Helsingin Sanomat on Monday.

Koskela said a strong low-pressure system will deliver heavy rains to the region and raise wind speeds in the early hours of the day, possibly to levels that meet the common definition of a storm – an average wind speed of over 21 metres per second over a 10-minute period.
