Due to my wifes work commitments we can not fly untill Aug 23 at the earliest.What will the weather be like this time of the year? Will we be able to sit outside at cafes etc or will it be a bit to cold as was the case in Copenhagen and Stockholm, although the bars in Copenhagen had heaters which made it ok.Also will all the attractions,tours etc be operating at this time, i only ask as some were begining to close in Stockholm.Also will the city be busy this time of the year? One last thing how many hours of daylight can we expect?

The weather is a bit of a question mark that time of the year. It can either be very nice summer weather with quite warm temperatures or then it can be a bit chilly. Impossible to say.
All the attractions will be open for sure and I%26#39;m also quite sure there will be plenty of tours going on. I would definitely recommend you to go for a sightseeing by boat as there you%26#39;re not so depending of the weather. If it%26#39;s nice you can sit on the deck and if it%26#39;s chilly you can sit inside and watch the sights through a window. Some of the ships also serve dinner to a decent price. The ferries leave from the Market Square.
Do also visit the Fortress Island of Suomenlinna which is situated 15 minutes away from the same Market Square by ferry. It is listed as one of Unescos World Heritage Objects and is a perfect place for a nice walk or a picnic. There are also some nice small museums there.
The city should be quite busy at that time of the year.
On the 23rd of August the sun rises at 5.54 in the morning and goes down at 8.50 in the evening so I guess there will be enough daylight...

In my opinion, August is the best time of the year in Helsinki. It%26#39;s the busiest time as well, but Finns%26#39; holidays are mostly over, and people are getting back in town. Quite often nice weather and the Helsinki festival every year, check out www.helsinginjuhlaviikot.fi/index.php…

we visited Helsinki in August last year and it was absolutely glorious sunny weather. Perfect for sightseeing.
