Iltalehti explained how meteorologists familiar from television plan to spend Easter.
At Easter, many expect long free and of course sunny spring weather.
Iltalehti made a tour and asked TV meteorologists what kind of plans they have for the Easter holidays, and whether the plans for summer vacation are clear.
Some of them happen to be on duty this year.
One of them is a meteorologist at MTV and Foreca Liisa Rintaniemi. She admits that she enjoys Easter.
According to Liisa Rintaniemi, the best thing about relaxing is relaxing and eating chocolate. IL
Family traditions have sometimes included attending Easter Church.
– We have attended Easter service, so there is such a bright atmosphere.
This year, the ryegrass was not grown, but Liisa’s home has a traditional Easter bouquet that includes tulips, hyacinths and buttercups, for example.
Is there any memory left of Easter childhood?
– When I started to wake up with a friend, his mother taught us how to wake up properly. He was from Karelia, so the Easter branch had to be whipped right. Nowadays, the twig is waved lightly, so she thinks the joke was a bump, Liisa recalls amused.

Mina can say what the perfect weather is for skiing.
