Reposted by Patrick ErikssonMika Rantanen @mikarantane.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Breaking: Helsinki, Finland, has just recorded its lowest sea level on record, as a cold easterly flow and strong high pressure have pushed water out of the Baltic Sea. The observed minimum this morning was −93.5 cm below normal. The Helsinki tide gauge record goes back to 1904. 76623 0
Patrick Eriksson @pberiksson.bsky.social · 05/02/2026All Finnish icebreakers are busy assisting maritime traffic, and the #seaice on the #BalticSea continues to expand. If the Bothnian Sea becomes fully ice-covered this winter, it would be the first time since February 2011. Follow the daily ice situation at: en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/ice-conditio... 1195 0
Patrick Eriksson @pberiksson.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Drawing ice charts is fun, sometimes the ice polygons take some nice shapes, like this cute Ice Fox sitting on the Oulu fairway on today's #BalticSea #icechart.🦊😍 You can access the @ilmatieteenlaitos.fi ice chart at en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/ice-conditions 000 0

Patrick Eriksson @pberiksson.bsky.social · 09/12/2024This winter's daily Baltic Sea #icechart :ing, done jointly by the Finnish and Swedish ice services, started today. The freeze-up is well under way in the Bay of Bothnia and the #icebreaking operation will quite likely start within a few weeks. 110 0
