These are the findings of meteorologist Trausti Jónsson. According to him, this is major meteorological news.
June was very dry in most areas, with draughts impeding vegetation in many areas.
Average temperatures in Reykjavík were 11,4 degrees Celcius, which is 2,4 percent above average. Never has June seen higher temperatures.
Since the year 2000, the month of June has been unusually warm, except for 2001.
