What we do

We produce aviation weather service for Northern and also most of Eastern Finland.

The information is in the form of TAF and General Aviation Forecasts, which are updated several times every day. Significant weather charts are also made for the area of Rovaniemi Flight Informaton Region, which consists of provinces of Oulu and Lapland.

We produce also weather information for the military, specially the Finnish Air Force.

We give weather information for the turist resorts and fells in Northern Finland. Some weather forecasts for viewing the Northern Lights come from us.
During winter time we give avalanche warnings for the fells.

In winter time we serve car testing groups here in Lapland.

There is another Aviation and Weather Services in Helsinki.
