In the {{wp|Köppen climate classification}}, the country is split into three climate zones. The majority of the country lays within the {{wp|Subarctic climate|boreal zone}}, characterized by warm summers and freezing winters. Within the country, the {{wp|temperateness}} varies considerably between the southern coastal regions and the extreme north, showing characteristics of {{wp|hemiboreal}}, boreal, and {{wp|polar climate|tundra climate}}.
