It will be worth keeping an eye on night skies in Finland over the next couple of days, as the probability of catching a glimpse of the northern lights is high this week, according to the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).
It forecast that skies will be clearer in northern areas on Tuesday night, while conditions for seeing the phenomenon are expected to improve in southern and central regions on Wednesday night.
The FMI made the announcement about the increased chances of seeing the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, on social media and on its website.
The agency has a webpage in English about space weather-related phenomena, including charts and a map showing possible locations where the northern lights might be seen.
According to the FMI, space weather is a phenomena caused by solar wind and solar flares near Earth and on the upper part of the atmosphere. The aurora borealis "is the most visible form of space weather", it explained.
