The name'suurilmaston' is derived from the Finnish words'suuri' meaning 'large' and 'ilmasto' meaning 'climate'. This name refers to the region's unique microclimate, which is influenced by its proximity to the Gulf of Finland. The region's climate is known to be cooler and more humid than the surrounding areas, making it an ideal location for certain types of agriculture and forestry.

Over the centuries, the region has been influenced by various cultures, including Finnish, Estonian, and Swedish. Today, the region remains sparsely populated, with most inhabitants depending on subsistence farming and forestry for their livelihoods.

The region's natural environment is characterized by a mix of coniferous and deciduous forests, as well as numerous bogs and wetlands. The region's landscape has been shaped by the last ice age, and features numerous glacial erratics and moraine deposits. Suurilmaston is an important habitat for various wildlife species, including the European lynx, moose, and beaver.

Efforts have been made to preserve the region's natural environment and cultural heritage, including the designation of several nature reserves and the restoration of traditional farming practices. However, the region remains vulnerable to climate change and the impacts of urbanization in neighboring areas.
