In fact Siberia is not so bad between May and September (ø temperature 0°C to 12°C) like said previously https://t.center/WinterFreaks/476 while End September is pretty good in nordic countries (sud) too! The warm May temperatures in Arctic Siberia led to rapid snowmelt (Figure 3, left panel), leaving the area virtually snow-free by the middle of June, about one month earlier than on average during 1981‒2010 https://perma.cc/LZH9-YB8Y 😣 Temperature records in Siberia while wildfires in the Arctic surpass last year’s activity https://perma.cc/MHS2-M45C Permafrost in Norway and Iceland has been warming at rates between 0 and 0.6 ◦ C per decade (Isk2) at 10 m depth since the start of the measurements. Warming rates were, in general, higher in northern Norway than in southern Norway and Iceland. In all regions studied, the development of taliks or complete permafrost degradation is observed, such as in Tronfjell (southern Norway) and Iškoras (northern Norway). The talik development could be modelled by heat conduction alone and by increasing SAT and snow depth as the main forcing variables since 2010. At most sites, ground surface temperature (GST) is increasing more strongly than surface air temperature (SAT). Changing snow conditions, especially those re- lated to increasing snow depth and a shortening of snow cover duration, appear to be the most important factor for the higher GST rates. A thicker winter snow cover may be related to more frequent and intense rain-on- snow events and winter warm spells, which may reduce snow surface erosion due to wind. The simulated snow conditions are also in agreement with previous projections of a decrease in SCF and snow mass across Iceland, as the rising average temperature causes spring melts to begin earlier and autumn snow cover to occur later.
