PhotographyHelsinki, the capital of Finnland, is one of the most southern Finnish cities, but still colder than many others who are located far more north. Why is that?
Because of the wind. Due to the fact that Helsinki has maritime climate (it is located at the sea), the wind usually blows rather strong, thus the temperature feels way colder. Here is a very informative diagram.

das musst du keinem Ostfriesen erzählen ;) Die Meerlage hat einen immensen Einfluss aufs Klima.
Wobei Helsinki den Nachteil haben dürfte, dass die Ostsee im Winter nicht so sehr als Wärme-Vorratsspeicher genutzt werden kann wie die Nordsee, wo der Golfstrom immer was hineinpumpt.
