春はもうすぐ。Spring is just around the corner
数日前、ヘルシンキは雲一つない快晴に恵まれ、日中の最高気温が3度とまだ寒く感じましたが、早くもTシャツで歩く人を見かけました。まだジャケットは手放せませんが、気分はすでに春です!しかし、昨日から天気は再び下り坂に。雨が降ったり、一時的に雪がちらついたりして、春が来たかと思ったら再び冬に逆戻りのような日々が、通常4月半ばくらいまで続きます。フィンランドの春、早く来ーい!(笑)
A few days ago, Helsinki was blessed with clear skies without a single cloud in sight. Although the daytime high was only 3 degrees, still feeling quite cold, I noticed some people were already out walking in T-shirts. You still need a jacket, but the atmosphere felt like spring already! However, the weather has turned for the worse again since yesterday. With rain and occasional flurries of snow falling, just when you think spring has arrived, it feels like we've returned to winter. This pattern usually continues until about mid-April. Spring in Finland is just around the corner, isn't it?
