YLEs claim: "2-3 degrees warmer than usual in February". So what is the usual temperature in Finland during February? And how many anomalies has there been?

YLEs source, Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), has historical temperature data for February in Finland between 1961 - 2023.

The table shows 61 temperature assessments for February (1961-2023). Of these, 25 are classified as anomalies - something different, abnormal, peculiar, or not easily classified. 25 out 63, or 39.7%, are classified as anomalies.

Even so, the trend-line suggests that the average temperature has risen since 1961 (see below). Bear in mind that that's a very short time span.
