From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

The weather across the UK has been dominated by high pressure all month so far. But where there is high pressure, there is always low pressure elsewhere.

And that low pressure has been stuck over Greenland. The consequence has been a lot of snow, delaying the beginning of the summer melt:

Of course, this is all just weather, just as in 2012, when high pressure brought sunny weather to Greenland and a lot of ice melt, while here we had that notoriously wet summer.
