Lämpökausinen

Lämpökausinen refers to a period of unusually warm weather that occurs outside of the typical summer season. This phenomenon can manifest in spring or autumn, bringing temperatures significantly higher than the average for that time of year. While often a welcome respite from colder conditions, lämpökausinen can also have notable impacts. In spring, an early warm spell might accelerate plant growth, making them vulnerable to subsequent frost. In autumn, it can extend the growing season or delay the onset of winter. The occurrence and intensity of lämpökausinen are influenced by broader weather patterns and climate change. These warm periods are often associated with high-pressure systems that bring stable, sunny, and warmer air. The term is commonly used in regions with distinct seasonal variations, particularly in Nordic countries.
