A summer storm will punish Finland on Saturday. Foreca’s on-duty meteorologist said that the heaviest rain area will move over southern and eastern Finland during the evening and night. Strong winds are also expected.
Helsinki also gets its share of noise, where the second day of the Helsinki City Festival starts on Saturday.
– Here, water drips calmly all the time. There was one bigger deaf fire, but luckily it’s still a pretty calm trickle of water, says the responsible producer of Helsinki City Festival Vilho Riihimäki For Iltalehti directly from the festival area.
According to him, tickets for the event have sold well for Saturday. Riihimäki believes that the weather may affect the arrival time of people at the site.
– I assume that when it’s a rainy day, customers might come later. When there are such festivals and artist coverage, and when the ticket has been bought, I don’t think anyone will not come because of the rain, says Riihimäki.
The festival will feature today, among others, an American MacklemoreHello Helsinki!, Hot, Isaac Elliott and Swedish Mohombi.
The organizer reminds that there are also disposable raincoats for sale in the festival area.
– They are available for sale at dispensing points and information points. We also have a few sales points where you can buy raincoats. No need to fear the rain! Riihimäki communicates.
Riihimäki says that if the rain starts to bother you during the evening, you can go inside.
– We have one stage inside, and inside the ice rink there are services, bars, a disco and seats, he lists.
– Sometimes you can dry off inside too! So you shouldn’t be afraid of that weather. Well, it has already found a crowd here.
