Seems Kvisker, Iceland, recorded 19.7C on the night before Dec 3th. More then 1C warmer than the previous Dec heat record of Iceland (18.4C). Also the warmest Dec temperature ever recorded in the Nordics, and warmer than the UK Dec record. How on Earth is that possible? Perfect foehn setup is my guess. |

Yes, it is confirmed. 19'C at Sunndalsøra. On the same day, 18.9'C in Åndalsnes.
Old Jan record in Norway was 17'9C.

The one month in the year (AFAIK) when Norway, known for its cold winters, has a higher record high than the UK, and it's January... Date record for the UK yesterday though, 15.3C at Murlough in Northern Ireland. |

Didn't break the Nordic winter record though, which was recorded in Iceland last December with 19.7C.

Ariete All the nordic winter record have to be due to Foehn winds right?

March is when non-föhn stations start to get the records, like Oskarshamn and Sandbäckshult's 22.2'C in Sweden (although they do get very slight föhn winds from the 300m south-Swedish "highland" but it's obviously not that significant.)
Don't know if 22.2'C is the Nordic record though.

Not Nordic record. March all-time high in Norway is 23.1'C at Landvik (Grimstad), from March 27th 2012.

The one month in the year (AFAIK) when Norway, known for its cold winters, has a higher record high than the UK, and it's January... Date record for the UK yesterday though, 15.3C at Murlough in Northern Ireland. Just looked at data from UK Met Office.
Looking at all-time highs, seems UK and Norway have:
- Similar June all-time high: 35'6C - Almost similar May record: 32.8'C in UK and 32.7'C in Norway -Fairly similar in Nov: UK 22.4'C and Norway 21.8'C Fairly similar in Dec: 18.7'C in UK and 18.3'C in Norway
The biggest difference is, unsurprisingly, in Sep: 35.6'C in UK and a measly 28.5'C in Norway. Also the oldest monthly high still standing here, from 1906 (equaled two times). Really don't see that record lasting much longer.

Oh OK, the winter Norwegian ones look more impressive given that it's Norway we're talking about but I understand what causes that. What makes your record highs in May and June so impressive compared to other months? I assume much of it is home-grown warmth caused by long hours of sunshine because you still have water to your south to cool down any hot southerlies. Btw, the 35.6C in the UK in September (also in 1906) is very suspicious, there's no obvious reason why a record high for what's basically a late-summer heatwave should have happened somewhere like South Yorkshire in a place that's never got that hot since then. I think it was 35.0C somewhere in the SE that day (or whatever 95F equates to exactly), as far as I'm concerned that's the real record. Looking at our records the April one (29.4C) should be the easiest to break because it happened on the 16th and April these days is nearly always above average, the September one should in theory come next because it's the oldest and the climate's warmed up so much since then. The hardest has got to be the 29.9C in October 2011, that was more or less perfect synoptics and perfect timing coming at the start of the month. |

I was going to say the 19.7c in February should be easy to break, and we did that last year with 21.2c in Kew Gardens.
April should be able to see 30c+, and I think our June record could go as well (if the 2015 heatwave had synoptics lined up 24h earlier it would have seen us pushing 37c in June rather than July).
I believe it was New Malden in London that recorded 35.0c in September 1906. That will stay for a while.

Our 38'C heat record in June is probably our most impressive one

Finland's heat record in May is only 31.0C, which is very lame.

It hit 74F/23.5C in Boston today while I was visiting, setting the monthly record high for the city. Providence, RI also set their record at 70F/21C.
