Summer starts with snow in Norway...

[boxman]

People here woke up today to snow covered ground. Some areas got 10cm of snow and even hear at sea level we got snow.
There has never been snow here in june during my lifetime at least, so this is very unusual.
Based on the last few summers this can definitely no longer be blamed on just "weather".
I am certain that solar activity has done something to the jet streams and circulation in atmosphere.
Every year it is starting to look more and more like the year without summer with wild temperature swings from day to day and weather that seems completely out of season.

Now tonight it seems like temps will drop even further since it has already dropped to 4c.
Even daytime highs does not get higher than 6-7c lately even though the weather is clear and nice otherwise. So much for Norway turning sub tropical and snow free like those crazy predictions by those lunatic AGW pseudoscientists.

It's 14 deg c in southern england at the moment. It should be nearer 21deg c.

Stockholm´s max temperature only reached 6 C last Saturday, something that has not happened for more than 80 years in the month of June and was even lower than last Christmas Eve´s highest !
The poor runners in the Stockholm Marathon really had to fight for it:

One week earlier temperatures were around 25 C...

Your not supposed to look at World temps. Only the record heat in the USA right now. They will move the focus to other record heat if that happens.

BTW not all the USA is hot. We here in what we call the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, BC) are COLD. We are 5 - 8 degrees below normal and only had a could warm days so far.

'Sweden Records One Of Its Coldest and Wettest June Months Since Records Began In 1786"



"On June 2, the temperature in Stockholm rose only to 6°C, the coldest high in 84 years, read more here. Earlier in the month one town recorded a temperature of 6°C below zero – the coldest June temperature in Sweden in 20 years. Snow even blanketed parts of northern Sweden.

Normally in the month of June, the mercury rises to 25°C or more on just days 5 days on average. This June the mercury never reached that mark. In fact it didn’t even reach the 22°C mark. The high temperature for June in Stockholm was only 21.6°C. This is only the second time the temperature has failed to reach 25°C in June in 92 years."

"Record heat to linger, but some relief in sight. Debby continues to inundate Florida.
By Weather Wizard on June 26, 2012"


Yesterday’s 100 degree reading at Scholes Field set the all-time high temperature record for Galveston for the month of June. With high pressure still dominant over the region, this extreme heat will continue for at least a couple of more days. On the plus side, humidity levels remain fairly low and an upper-level disturbance could actually bring some thunderstorms to our area later today.

During the Maunder minimum time, wasn't a record high in temperature taken in England?

Love practising my little Norwegian:

"Så varmt har det aldri vært i mai

På toppen finner vi Gvarv i Telemark med 30,6 grader!"

'So warm has it never been in May.

As the highest point we have Gvarv in [the county of] Telemark with 30.6 degrees C.'


Not very far from where Boxman lives, and the date was indeed May 24th, 2012!

That was back in May, more recently:


"West Country and Trøndelag was one degree below normal in June.

- In Northern Norway, it was also a little colder than normal"

and :

Posted 6/29/2012 2:38 p.m.

"The first summer month was never bright warm. In its entirety, it was colder than normal in the country.

 June, hints of summer, but the stable and warm summer weather was long in coming.

In Northern Norway, came to visit again in winter, just three days before month end.
Cool in eastern

- Especially in the eastern part, it has been cool in June, says climate researcher Jostein Mamen.

Here, the temperature hovering around two degrees below normal. It may not sound much, but the weather statistics count every single decimal place.

- Two degrees is quite a lot when we talk about standards, emphasizes Mamen."

Of some interest here perhaps:

"Mars ble den varmeste måneden som er registrert på 112 år. "

The March [of 2012] became the warmest on the record for 112 years."

I left this bit as a practice:

"– Dette bekrefter at vi i den senere tiden har beveget oss mot et varmere klima, og at 'taket' for hvor høye temperaturer det er mulig å oppnå, etter all sannsynlighet har hevet seg på grunn av endringer i det globale klimaet, sier Thyness."
