The Arctic ice volume goes up and down with the seasons. Right now it is going down. But it is crowded at the bottom. The ice volume is getting closer to zero. The fun part is that all the previous years are jammed at this point.
The warmie press is now making a big deal of melting, but everything is a hair's width from each other. On the other hand, the maximum is open to the sky. There is a much bigger spread.
A couple of storms can make a big difference in the minimum. Right now we are going along a smooth curve, but the big minimum took a big turn at this point.
In other news, the UK is having a 4 day heat-wave instead of the 3 weeks they were touting.
A plume is just skimming them. Perhaps they'll be lucky on the next one, so they can say they had a summer. I don't wish the cold upon them, but without the Gulf Stream they are the same as Nfld. Great for blueberries in September. Yum.
As well, the press was going on about a warm plume hitting the Arctic for a day. It looks like it faded out.
Now we come to September, which will be cold. I look forward to what they can wring out of this.
