The Finnish Meteorological Institute uses Celsius scale instead of Fahrenheit. World Meteorological Organization, WMO for short, has agreed on a standard for temperature measurement which is Celsius. Celsius scale is used globally by other meteorological institutes and organisations which enables world wide exchange of information.

The easiest way to convert different temperature units is to use the Unit Converter on FMI website.

In order for you to convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit multiply the wanted temperature by nine and then divide that number with five and then add 32.

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius deduct 32 from the given temperature, divide that number by nine and then multiply the outcome by five.

From Celsius to Fahrenheit - F=9/5*C+32
From Fahrenheit to Celsius - C=5/9*(F-32)
Where C is the value in Celsius and F is the value in Fahrenheit.

Information about lake surface temperature can be found on the webpages of the Finnish Environment Institute
