Meteorologist Kerttu Kotakorpi, 35, delights her followers on Instagram again.
Yle’s popular “weather reader” updates publications about himself and other things on his social media channel, but always remembers to read the weather report as well. In the latest publication, Kerttu enchants with her personality and her writing.
– I had to come out to test what 20 degrees feels like, when it’s a bit cooler on the weekend. In the north, it can be frosty at night and the coolest during the day is in the east, where it is also the rainiest, the meteorologist writes in his publication.
At the same time, he updates that the publication is his 500th post. He also wonders if his followers are interested in weather updates and pictures from the news studio.
– Are you interested in these posts of mine about the news studio, the workplace and the day’s weather? What about climate change and the loss of nature? Or a trip to nature? Now you can comment.
Kerttu is known as an active messenger of Climate Change. He talked about it in more detail in an interview with Iltalehti.

Kerttu, who often reads the weather reports in colorful clothes, now gives her followers the opportunity to influence her social media content to the extent that they know whether in the future she will talk about, for example, climate change in addition to the weather.
There have been several comments on Kertu’s post on Instagram. He also answers questions and comments.
– Of course I’m interested. When you wrote that it has rained more than 200mm in Inari in July, is this climate change. How much has it rained there in total this year? one user wonders, but not for long.
– Yes, climate change increases the amount of rain, but with regard to a single observation, no conclusions can be drawn without research. During the current year, Saariselka has received a rare amount of rain, 430 mm, Kerttu answers.
By the way, Kertu’s glowing but reflective publication has received the following comments related to the weather-related content:
– Absolutely interesting. Let it burn!

– You have a nice way of sharing many kinds of posts, continue.
– Congratulations on 500. Keep up the good work, everything you’ve published has been interesting.
