Which station measures Helsinki's temperature?
Helsinki/Vantaa Arpt (EFHK), 56 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
What is the highest temperature ever recorded in Helsinki?
92.7°F, on 28 July 2010, in the record held for Helsinki/Vantaa Arpt. That is the highest daily maximum in the archive for this station, not a national record and not an official figure: those are set by national meteorological services.
What is the lowest temperature ever recorded in Helsinki?
−32.6°F, on 10 January 1987, in the same archive. Like the high, it is the lowest daily minimum this station has recorded rather than an official national figure.
