Warm weather spurs increase in blue-green algae blooms in Finland

The recent warm weather has led to a significant rise in blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) sightings in Finland's inland waters, coastal areas, and the Gulf of Finland. According to the latest observations, blue-green algae are appearing more frequently than average for this time of year.

In inland waters, the number of algae sightings has increased since last week.
