Parts of Europe are being gripped by unusual cold, even though the calendar says it’s meteorological summer. Now children in Sweden are finding out what snow is like – in June! Strangest warming I’ve ever seen.
The English language The Local here writes that “Stockholm broke an 84-year-old cold record on Saturday, as the capital’s temperature only reached 6 degrees Celsius, the lowest June maximum daily temperature the city has seen since 1928.”
Indeed, you could be excused for thinking that the current chill is more like winter than summer. It was actually colder in the capital yesterday than on Christmas Eve. ‘The temperature was a degree lower than it was at Christmas in Stockholm, so it is colder. And it’s windier, too,’ said SMHI’s meteorologist Lisa Frost to newspaper Dagens Nyheter.”
Just two days ago The Local here reported that snow blanketed northern parts.
Residents in northern Sweden were forced to grab shovels rather than sun lotion on what was supposed to be the first day of summer, as much of the region was left covered in a thick blanket of snow on Friday. As much as 20 centimetres of thick, wet snow fell in parts of Västerbotten County, giving residents quite a shock when they woke up Friday morning.”
The mercury also dropped to minus 6 degrees Celsius in one town, making it the coldest June Sweden recording in 20 years. The Local adds:
The weather agency forecasts that the first weekend in June will feel more like the start of winter than the start of summer.”
Anyone can cherry-pick either cold or warm events somewhere on the globe - they're happening all the time. You seem to have a distinct predilection for the former.
Are you aware that the Corbyn idiot in the UK was predicting the "coldest May for 100 years" - or something akin to that - after a very cold start, the month's CET ended up slightly above average!
Those headlines are also deliberately misleading (or composed by the scientifically illiterate) - it was the lowest June daily max. temperature for 84 years, not the lowest max. of any day in 84 years.

Are you saying it always snows in Summer there? I hope I'm "picking" the "rare" events. I feel its my job to stop the spin of the global warming garbage out there since nobody posts cold related events. Plus I enjoy it.

Yes, I was aware. He's not credit worthy to me...only entertainment.

Ahhh, very interesting if true, thanks! Any source for that to back up your claim??
FYI for those following. There's only two huge "hot" spots on the globe right now. Its in Russia & Greenland. If those disappear, the 2M global temps will dropto 30year lows IMO.
I don't care if it is representative of global climate or not: it's an amazing event regardless, and the current chill is very unusual. Sheer awesomeness is at work here .

Above average warmth has been more common than below average temperatures. I can cherrypick for just the US:
Why does everything have to be cherrypicked? As PM says it's an interesting and rare event, not everything is about global warming.
