Measurements are monitored cm by cm on many of the Austrian Glaciers by various interested parties including the Alpine Club. Summer retreat results will soon to be available. There has been a concerted man made protection of some of the glaciers over the last few summers but I would expect the trend of the past 3 decades of more to continue with the same rate of loss. Since being here for now 15 years , you can actually visible see less of the glaciers on the nearby Gross Glockner range and the Ankogelgruppe. Its a big worry. Sure is a result of man made GW in my view.

The man made efforts I have read about, covering the ice in an insulated and reflective material is very desperate, but exactly what these times call for.

A nice peaceful sunny Sunday morning in the Gontal. The Rot Gulden range of mountains top left.

Certainly a big difference to a few weeks ago! Do you know how the glaciers have faired this summer? Has it been a particularly mild one again at altitude?
edit: prob the wrong thread for this

And that (oceans of open water) to me anways, looks like the cause of increasing snowfall adjacent to north-facing coastlines... I see nothing to suggest that lake-effect snow won't occur 'up there' any less than it does 'down here'...?
For peeps to use increased autumnal snowfall as a way of diminishing the current parlous state of the Arctic sea ice, is daft... But then, I guess it's what some folks need to hear/see... a nice white, fluffy comfort blanket?
If enough snow falls I guess into the spring it will hang around a bit longer which will reflect more sunlight, although with the increase in temperature the melt rate will be that much more that added snow depth doesn’t account for much

Looks like some moderate to heavy snow forecast for the Alps Monday and Tuesday

Good to see the early season snow but mixed with disappointment, as it’s looking like most of us will miss our trip to the alps again this year with the ongoing pandemic. I’ll just have to make do with your pictures and hope we actually get some meaningful snow here, it’s well overdue!

epic yesterday evening in York. However a reminder that they can be dangerous. Thankfully no injuries reported

Interesting to see this update from Les 2 Alpes on Facebook. It seems that the cool spring and early summer has helped along with the techniques they are using.
Record alert!
At the beginning of June, we broke the snow record for the last 10 years on our glacier!
➡ 3 m15 of snow, which is equivalent to about 12 meters of fresh snow...Behind this record, there are favorable conditions but also a huge preservation work: snow conservation, damage, scientific follow-up,... The glacier is not a tool but our most beautiful treasure! Remember: https://cutt.ly/3oUugX2

Has been the best week of the summer so far. Heat building and the odd thunderstorm thrown in as well. Reached 33c in the valley and 23 c in the village this afternoon. Time for a few early evening beers after watching the Austrian crash out GP !

Will the weather next weekend do anything to differentiate this weekends GP to the re-run?

All very depressing news. Unfortunately the Coronavirus pandemic is hiding Global Warming news when really it should be top of the agenda. Hopefully once the pandemic is under control then we can put a focus on green recovery in order to look after the planet.-

something is sapping the intensity out of the central storms. Looks like another bust here. Drizzle is all we got
-
all that arrived in York was 10 mins of drizzle. You couldn’t make it up! Our wait continues
-
All the build up for 10 mins of drizzle here! Our wait continues

Radar shows massive reduction in intensity as it arrives over York. Typical! Hopefully more following on

Hazy now in York. Hopefully storms stay on current heading

Us southerners need that front to break up and some breaks in the cloud to allow convection. Don’t forget it’s almost the longest day of the year so plenty of time for that ! I expect it will break up around lunchtime and then towards evening we will see some storms break out.
Dan mentions London and home counties as the place to be in this mornings update.
Yet again the risk areas avoid York and East Yorkshire. Bloody typical. Boring weather here for ages

Nothing all week here. Not expecting anything next few days either

You know... Other than those in the Cone and Triangle, I doubt there's going to be many members of the No Thunderstorms Club this year after all this is over
They best get moving east then. Nothing here all week

Anything expected further east into Yorkshire?

I was wondering if any one could answer this question I was slightly curious. As we are all aware of the current situation around the world, I wanted to known if now we have had a drastic drop in pollution levels around the world due to lockdowns will this have an effect on our weather a few months/years down the line??? The earth has had a lot of pollution for so long and the pollution levels have dropped fast I read. I know it’s always a good thing for us to have less pollution but i was just interested on its impact.
Any immediate effect will be an increase in temperature below aeronautical corridors. This is caused by the lack of contrails, which will allow more of the sunlight to reach the ground. Personally I doubt any long term positive effects will be seen, as once the virus has passed we will go back to pumping pollution into the atmosphere just as quick as before. Unless we use this as a chance to re-set how we love our lives

Anyone else noticed how clean the air seems today? Not sure if I’m imagining it but it feels like there’s less pollution in the air. Hopefully we use this as a reset to reduce emissions, but with the economy taking a beating, funding for any change will not be available.

All of theses lorries parked up on the south coast could turn into the biggest domino run ever seen!
