How long will the polar plunge persist? Some relief, maybe, next weekend | | berkshireeagle.com

“According to Hogue (1964) heavy rainfall seldom occurs above 6000 ft on the Greenland ice sheet. However, at Watkins (=75°N. 48°W. and elevation 8840 ft) rain was reported to have occurred in July 1933. Hogue also notes that in the Contrale-Eismitte area, drizzle and rain were each reported once in a three-year period, on 20 and 21 June 1950. respectively.”

Amsterdam is one of those cities. About one-third of the Netherlands lies below sea level, with the lowest point being 22 feet (6.7 meters) below sea level.”
