Snowfall in Sweden and the coldest June day in Stockholm for 84 years

It’s weather not climate of course.

But is it Global warming?  or is it Global cooling? or just normal changes of climate which no so-called “climate scientist” understands or is capable of predicting.

On the calendar, today is the first of June which is supposed to be a real summer day. This means that we were supposed to have great sunshine and would be outside in our gardens basking – if not at work though.

But such is not the reality if you live in the Swedish town of Långsjöby a couple miles from Storuman in Västerbotten. Here it has been snowing enough that a few centimetres of snow is visibly gathering  on the ground now. Visitors to the town from places such as Stockholm were surprised to find snow and some thought that they had been travelling in a time machine.

And yesterday on 2nd June the participants in the Stockholm marathon were met by a rainy, windy and cold day – the coldest in 84 years.

A 84-year cold record has been beaten in Stockholm. The temperature  on Saturday reached no higher than 6 degrees.
