Climate Chart of Kuopio, Finland

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January, at -6.6 °C, and highest in July, at 17.3 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad monthly pattern rather than the range visitors might experience on individual days. The unweighted mean across the monthly temperature means is 4.8 °C. It offers a compact year-round reference, but does not represent a day-weighted annual average or the conditions of any particular month.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in June, at 13.50 hours/day, and lowest in December, at 0.34 hours/day. These averages can help with daylight outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length or a guarantee of clear skies. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine means is 6.29 hours/day per day. It gives a broad reference rather than a forecast for any individual visit.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly level in July, at 3.11 mm/day. This is a daily mean, not a monthly rainfall total, and it does not indicate how often rain falls or guarantee wet weather on a particular day. The lowest monthly mean daily rainfall is in February, at 0.13 mm/day. That may help readers comparing average rainfall, but a low mean cannot promise dry days; the unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.44 mm/day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in December, at 11.54 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly snowfall means is 4.65 mm/day. These recorded averages describe snowfall amounts, not the number of snowy days, snow depth, lasting snow cover or skiing conditions.

Best Travel Time Guide for Kuopio, Finland: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant reference, with a monthly mean temperature of -6.6 °C; this is not a daytime maximum and cannot predict conditions on specific dates. If lower average rainfall is the priority, February has the lowest mean daily rainfall, 0.13 mm/day, but that does not guarantee dry days or show how frequently rain occurs. For rain preparation, note that the highest mean daily rainfall is in July, at 3.11 mm/day; consider having weather-appropriate clothing available rather than treating the monthly average as a forecast. The lowest mean daily sunshine is in December, at 0.34 hours/day, which may matter when planning daylight outdoor activities, though sunshine duration is not day length.

Recorded mean daily snowfall is highest in December, at 11.54 mm/day. This can inform general preparation, but the average alone cannot establish whether snow will fall during a visit, how deep it may be, or whether snow cover or skiing conditions will be present. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine, June has the highest mean daily sunshine duration, 13.50 hours/day. This is a sunshine average rather than a measure of day length or a promise of clear weather, so it should be used as a broad planning reference, not a guarantee.
