Global warming is melting the Arctic so fast, all our long-term weather
records must be becoming less and less useful for predicting the future.
What happens in 5 or 10 years' time when the ice is completely gone in
summer? It seems very unlikely to me that this won't have a large impact on
UK climate, but what that impact will be is anyone's guess, I suspect. It's
not something we've ever seen before.
