Utö (Finland)

The island has a lighthouse, pilot station, a small guest harbour, a shop and a post office.

The Utö lighthouse is painted to resemble the signal flag "H", indicating the maritime pilot station.

[2] The open sea areas around Utö are covered by ice only approximately every five years.

[3] Utö has a humid continental climate (Dfb) (0˚C, 32˚F isotherm) or an oceanic climate (Cfb) (-3˚C, 26,6˚F isotherm) with mild summers and moderately cold and relatively long but late winters compared to the nearby southern mainland Finland because of seasonal lag caused by the Baltic Sea.
