some air has moved around ha.
but blocking highs are the big story and in a lot of places.
is there a blocking high proxy so we an see if there are long term periods of this phenomena.
I do remember some discussion of some very warms spells during the LIA that may have been functionally driven by blocking systems

A new all-time high for June temps is reality in Utsjoki-Kevo today, +31.1C (previous record was +29.2C, Jun 25th, 1990).
EDIT the new record is now +31.7C

numerouno,
Does this new high fall under the category of "weather" or "climate change"?

numerouno, Does this new high fall under the category of "weather" or "climate change"? Climate change talks to us through weather. This is, after all, a new historical record in the extreme north, and not a passing fluke. The new record goes well together with the statistics: "deviation from the average (1981-2000) for March-May in Helsinki-Kaisaniemi and Sodankylä [in Finnish Lapland]". (fmi.fi)

That is a pretty small sampling to be basing much of an average on don't you think?

The beginning of blooming of the Bird Cherry in sub-Arctic Circle Finland between 1846-2005. From the Finnish Forest Research Institute. The trend is 8.5 days/100 years. www.metla.fi/uutiskirje/fen/2010-1/uutinen-3.html(Heinäkuu=July and so forth.)

numerouno:
Does the graph show earlier or later blooming? Do not know if it is July, Aug Sept showing on the graph.

England has just experienced its coldest Spring since 1891 - Central England Temperature anomaly for May now in (-0.8°C): Anomaly to May: -1.01 Provisional CET anomaly (up to 1st June): -1.01 What I would give for some of that fine Finnish weather climate change*... _________________________________________________ *Weather is not climate. All weather events are now climate

numerouno: Does the graph show earlier or later blooming? Do not know if it is July, Aug Sept showing on the graph. As I said, Heinäkuu=July. July 1st sits on top. From 1846 (on the left) the blooming date has been creeping down towards an earlier date as time progresses toward the present (to the right). A simple metric that it is accordance with the known climate statistics. In the graph one can actually see clearly the great famine years 1867 and 1868, during which an 8% of the Finnish population died on account of three successive poor harvests. 1866 had a decent beginning, just as in the graph.
