Finnish Meteorological Institute on social media

The Finnish Meteorological Institute communicates on social media about current phenomena, research and services related to our activities. We provide reliable information in a place where people spend their time.

We produce research-based information on the weather, the sea, the climate and space, so that no one would be caught off guard by the weather conditions. In addition to the Finnish Meteorological Institute online service, we communicate on social media.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute operates on the following social media channels:

  • On Instagram, we present the extensive activities of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, in addition to weather, the research in the field and the services we provide. We also talk about what it's like to work with us. Follow us on Instagram!

  • On LinkedIn, we publish job advertisements and share current content regarding research and the Finnish Meteorological Institute as an organisation. Follow us on LinkedIn!

  • On X (formerly Twitter) we have several accounts, of which @meteorologit focuses on weather and @IlmaTiede on research. Other FMI accounts on X include @FMIclimate, @FMIspace and @FMI_Marine.

  • Our YouTube channel contains videos on the weather, climate change and on our other research topics.
