Derechos in Finland show high CAPE values, averaging 530–1590 J/Kg, indicating favorable conditions for severe storms.
There were 10 derechos recorded, and 17 other major wind events, with damage tracks mostly exceeding 100 km.
The study utilized the ThundeR rawinsonde package to compare proximity soundings from severe and non-severe thunderstorm days.
Results can assist meteorologists in forecasting severe convective storms in Finland's unique environmental conditions.
