The country I have choosen is Finland as is a place I have always wanted to go.
Finland is in located Northern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea, Gulf of Bothnia, and Gulf of Finland, between Sweden and Russia.
Climate: The main factor influencing Finland's climate is the country's geographical position between the 60th and 70th northern parallels in the Eurasian continent's coastal zone, which shows characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate, depending on the direction of air flow. The mean temperature in Finland is several degrees (as much as 10°C in winter) higher than that of other areas in these latitudes, e.g. Siberia and south Greenland. The temperature is raised by the Baltic Sea, inland waters and, above all, by air flows from the Atlantic, which are warmed by the Gulf Stream.
Winter:In winter, the mean temperature remains below 0°C, but warm air flows can raise the daily high above 0°C at times. Winter usually begins in mid-October in Lapland and during November in the rest of Finland, though not until December in the southwestern archipelago.North of the Arctic Circle, part of the winter is the period known as the polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon at all. In the northernmost extremity of Finland, the polar night lasts for 51 days. In southern Finland, the shortest day is about 6 hours long.
Spring:In spring, the mean daily temperature rises from 0°C to 10°C. Spring begins in early April .
Summer:In summer, the mean daily temperature is consistently above 10°C. Summer usually begins in late May in southern Finland and lasts until mid-September.The highest summer temperatures in the Finnish interior are from 32°C to 35°C. Near the sea and in the islands, temperatures over 30°C are extremely rare; the highest temperature ever recorded in Helsinki is 31.6°C
