Significado
Weather with plenty of sun.
Contexto cultural
The 'Terassi' (Terrace) culture is huge. At the first sign of an 'aurinkoinen päivä' in spring, Finns will sit outside in coats just to catch the rays. Vitamin D is a national obsession. A sunny day is seen as a health requirement, not just a weather state. The concept of 'Mökki' (summer cottage) is tied to the weather. A sunny day is the only time some Finns feel their cottage investment is worth it. Silence. Even on a beautiful sunny day, Finns might enjoy it in complete silence together, which is a sign of comfort.
