Alina, meet Google:
Google replies to the words winter, weather and Pori wrote: The winter season lasts from November to March, spring from March to May, summer from June to August, and autumn from September to October.

Winter in Finland lasts roughly four months in the southern parts of the country but up to six months in the north. Winter is dark, and the light portion of the day is short, a couple of hours at its shortest – even in the south.

Snow comes and goes, while the temperature varies between 0 °C and -15 °C, and the roads are slippery at times. Freezing or not, snowing or not, people go to work and school in Finland, regardless of the weather. Please note! Even though the winters are cold, thanks to the Gulf Stream they are approximately 6 °C warmer than in other parts of the globe at corresponding latitudes.

Coldness and freezing are not a matter of temperature but of wearing the right clothing. When you dress warmly enough, winter in Finland is not cold. A pair of long johns or pantyhose, a woollen shirt, a warm quilted jacket or one filled with down, a proper woollen cap or hat, gloves, and a scarf, plus warm shoes will keep you warm enough outdoors. Flats are well insulated and heated, so you will not need to freeze indoors, either.
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

See the map of Finland at the right edge of this page.

The figures marked in cyan indicate the highest and lowest average temperature in the area, expressed in degrees Centigrade. Those marked in orange are the highs and the lows. The green numbers, when present, indicate the average thickness of the snow cover in centimeters. You can change the date from the drop-down selection list below the map. The dates are expressed in DD.MM format. All the numbers are statistical averages from the period 1971–2000.

You can find more information in English on this page. (You might want to explore the site a bit on your own by clicking the links in the body text and on the sidebars...)
