Melting of Iceland’s glaciers could raise sea levels by a centimeter, [28] which could lead to erosion and flooding worldwide. [29] Locally, glacial recession could cause crustal uplift, [28] which could disrupt buildings. Some places in Iceland have already seen the crust rise at a rate of 40 millimeters per year. [28]
Although clouds can exist within a wide range of altitudes, typical cloud cover has a base at approximately 4,000m and extends up to an altitude of about 5,000m. [9] Clouds height can vary depending on latitude; with cloud cover in polar latitudes being slightly lower and in tropical regions the cloud cover may extend up to 8,000m.
Because the Gulf Stream has a moderating effect, portions of Iceland have an Oceanic climate (subpolar variety) (Köppen climate classification: Cfc).But most of the ecoregion is Tundra climate (Köppen climate classification: ET), a local climate in which at least one month has an average temperature high enough to melt snow (0 °C (32 °F)), but no month with an average temperature in excess ...

They forecast the cloud cover, transparency and astronomical seeing, parameters which are not forecast by civil or aviation forecasts. [1] They forecast hourly data, but are limited to forecasting at most 48 hours into the future. Each individual chart provides data for only a 9 mile radius, and so are essentially point forecasts.
AccuWeather's experts issued the early viewing forecast a month before the rare event, taking place on April 8. AccuWeather's first cloud forecast, issued on March 7, along the path of totality ...

Thunderstorms, however, are very rare in Iceland, and there are less than five of them per year. [5] In June, Iceland's average daily temperatures range from 8 °C (46 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F). [9] Summer conditions vary in Norway depending on location. The Norwegian coast has cooler summers than areas further inland.
