Road weather observations: vt5_Mikkeli_Opt1

The dataset contains information on the prevailing weather conditions on the roads produced by the Finnish Transport Agency's road weather system. There are nearly 500 weather and weather-observing road weather stations along the roads. Most stations are located in the coastal region and southern Finland. Road weather stations provide data every 10-15 minutes from various road surface sensors on road surface conditions and meteorological sensors on the prevailing weather. Due to the location of the road weather stations, the reliability of the weather sensor data and the comparability of the data between the stations are weaker than with the weather observation stations of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, which are located in the most meteorologically representative locations. At road weather stations, the main focus is on weather measurement and the stations are therefore positioned using different methods than the weather stations.
