Ukko (Finnish: [ˈukːo]), is a thunder and weather god in Finnish mythology, whose vital role is fertilizing fields with his thunder and rain. Unto Salo believes that Ilmari, the Finnic sky god, is the origin of Ukko, but that as Ukko Ilmari experienced very significant, although far from total, influence from the Indo-European sky god especially in the form of Thor.
