The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) issued a warning shortly before 3pm Thursday of potentially dangerous thunderstorms in Central Finland, Southern Ostrobothnia and Central Ostrobothnia over the next few hours.
By 5pm more than 22,000 strikes had been recorded. "A record for this year", said FMI meteorologist Tuomo Bergman.
Meanwhile the temperature has climbed above 30 degrees Celsius in many areas. However Wednesday’s reading of 32.4 degrees in Liperi, North Karelia, still stands as the hottest of the year so far.
