Dear Diary,
That warm plume from Algeria to Scandinavia which we’ve seen so much of this year is evident once again in this months anomalies. Central Saharan Africa was colder than average again, I’m certain that there’s some kind of tie in with temperatures in this region and Atlantic tropical cyclones. The Baffin Sea was exceptionally cold thanks to the NW flow that dominated up there for much of the month. And guess what, much of Greenland and the Greenland sea was exceptionally mild once again.
