kesäkuukausien

Kesäkuukausien is a Finnish term that translates to "summer months." It refers to the period of the year when the weather is warmest and daylight hours are longest in Finland. Typically, these months are considered June, July, and August. During kesäkuukausien, Finland experiences a significant change from its colder seasons. The landscape transforms with lush greenery, blooming flowers, and the sea and lakes become popular destinations for recreation.

The long daylight hours, particularly the phenomenon of the "white nights" in the northern parts of the country, are a defining characteristic of kesäkuukausien. This extended daylight allows for a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking and camping to swimming and fishing. Many Finns take advantage of this period for vacations, often spending time at summer cottages located by lakes or on the coast. Festivals and cultural events are also common during these months. The harvest season also begins towards the end of summer, with berries and early vegetables becoming available. While the weather can be variable, the overall atmosphere during kesäkuukausien is one of warmth, light, and activity.
