Circulation-wise, June 2008 was a pretty ‘normal’ month over most of Europe and the adjacent Atlantic; mean sea-level pressure was slightly below normal (by 0 to 3mbar) over the British Isles, with a slight south-westerly bias to the anomalous flow. However, there continued to be a strong positive anomaly covering Iceland, Greenland, and NE Canada, with a centre of +11mbar over SW Greenland.
