Selkeässä

Selkeässä is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective selkeä, meaning clear or transparent. It describes a state or condition of being clear and is used with nouns in the inessive case, for example in expressions referring to weather or visibility, such as selkeässä säässä (“in clear weather”) or selkeässä ilmassa (“in clear air”).

In practical usage, selkeässä appears mainly in meteorological or descriptive writing. It is common in news reports, weather forecasts, and scientific or outdoor-writing to indicate that conditions are free of clouds, haze, or obstructions. The form helps to specify the context of clarity by linking the adjective directly to the noun it describes in its inessive position.
