I’ve been to Helsinki three or four times. Only once I had kind of nice weather. That was in the middle of winter and it was freezing like crazy back then. I’m heading out there tomorrow afternoon again and it seems it’s going to be one grey week…

When it comes to weather, three sites are important to me. weather.com for checking out the weather for the (foreign) places I need to go for business. Then there is actuelewaterdata.nl which give you a perfect overview of the current (intra-day) wind conditions for various spots on the North Sea coast (only in Holland). Last but not least there’s windfinder.com for checking out the wind forecast for the coming days.

Well, the weather in Helsinki is going to be crap. But that doesn’t really matter because the weather is Holland is going to be just as crap (only the temperature will differ a bit). That’s a lot different than last weekend. We had two days of (almost) 20 degrees and blue skies this weekend. Great, because yesterday we had the closing party @ Timboektoe (the beach pavilion I usually go to near Wijk aan Zee).

Windfinder by the way says there’s going to be some awesome conditions next weekend. But well, that’s still a pretty long way from now, so we’ll see what happens when I get back on Friday.
