Apparently it's an anecdotal mosquito record in Botsmark where our summerhouse is. The family was there but I wasn't. They were walking in the woods and one of the kids had his hood pullee over his head, and an estimated 70 mosquitoes sat on the hood. As one of the other kids woke up he basically had acne from mosquito bites.

Grand Marais, MN (47.8N, 188m) had a max of 72F/22C and an average high of 56F/13C in May, how terrible is that? Most of the state had a warm summer month and they were stuck in spring. Grand Forks (47.9N, 257m) had a max of 94F/34C and the average high was 76F/26C. All the weather stations near Lake Superior are chilly in spring, but Grand Marais is ridiculous. September is warmer than June there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Marais,_Minnesota#Climate PS then there is Isle Royale, MI...probably even colder in spring, but uninhabited most of the year. |

32.9°C at Drammen and Vestfossen was the national high in Norway today. Warmest so far this year.
Coldest low was -2.5°C at the mountain Gamanjunni (1237 m).

My goodness, Bahston's forecast for the next few days looks atrocious - 14C high today, 12C high tomorrow, 15C high on Tuesday, 13C high on Wednesday. Jesus Christ. Seems more like a mid-April forecast

"Tropical night" last night at Lyngør S coast, low was 20.4°C last night.
At the same time, snow on the roads at some altitude in far north.

Svenska högarna is at 476h for the last 31 days now. It won't get better than that though as today is cloudy there.

Gothenburg has had 25.3/12.8 for the last 31 days. Imagine if May started four days later..... What a record it could've been... Or if this heatwave started four days early which actuallt could've happened.

I'm surprised some countries use a threshold as low as 120w/m2 for sunshine recording. Looking at various weather stations in the UK even overcast days can record over 140w/m2 sunshine at this time of year. No wonder some places appear to have such inflated sunshine hours in other countries.

120w/m2 is the WMO standard and almost every country uses it. But I doubt it has a big difference in the long run, Helsinki Airport had like 60w/m2 yesterday when it was overcast and over 900 at best when it was clear. Some cloudy minutes seem to have been over 120 but below 140, but that's just 60 seconds.

No wonder UK places seem to have such low sunshine hours then, because we don't use it for some reason. Of course, our climate is still very cloudy anyway, but it explains quite a bit. The old recorders used in the UK only detect sun when it was bright enough to burn holes into a card, which must take a level of sun considerably higher than 120w/m2. Now we use sensors that can record at the level of 120w/m2 but the numbers are calibrated to the old recording standards to keep in line with old records. |

An overcast day may very well reach 120W/m² but almost all of that will be diffuse radiation. |

OK - not sure how the met office measure it, but I know there's an article explaining that they calibrate numbers from the Kipp & Zonan recorders into the old numbers which takes off a good couple of hundred sunshine hours a year. There was a link on CD (that other forum) that I'm trying to locate. Edit: Searched CD and found the link www.metoffice.gov.uk/climatechange/science/monitoring/ukcp09/faq.html#faq1.10 |

Even with the lower threshold we lose a lot of sunshine, around 90 minutes per day, when the direct radiation is sporadic during sunrise and sunset (obscured by trees or whatever).

Discovered this beauty. It looks like a summer you'd find around Melbourne but it's at 981m asl, 36°S lol. Kinda annoyed that this exists but at the same time it's amazing. The climate itself is rather average but considering its position, it's really cool. It also displays the power of temperature inversions. For example, Lithgow is at a similar elevation.
