den nächsten drei Tagen überwiegend nur leichter
Trost zu erwarten. Die Eisbildung wird insgesamt
gering bleiben. In der Bottenvik und im östlichen
7innischen Meerbusen wird das Eis durch
auffrischende südliche Winde an den Nordküsten
zusammengeschoben. Im südwestlichen Ostsee-
raum wird das Eis bei überwiegend positiven
Lufttemperaturen und zeitweiligem Regen deutlich
abnehmen.

expected in the northern region of the Baltic Sea
within the next three days. Therefore, no major ice
formation will occur. In the Bay of Bothnia and in
the eastern Gulf of Finland the ice will be
compacted on the northern coasts due to
freshening southern winds. In the southwestern
-egion of the Baltic Sea the ice will considerably
decrease due to the air temperatures above the
freezing point and temporary rain.
