if this is global warming, then bring it on my fellow Icelanders say
today.

greetings,Thorn.


I see that the temperature at Reykjavik fell 6 deg in an hour (26
to 20) late this afternoon as the wind shifted from N to SW.
Presumably this was a sea breeze, which must be quite an unusual
occurrence for Iceland. The warmth looks set to continue for several
days.
