The weather in 2022 was variable, but
the annual mean of temperature, wind and pressure were mostly around average. In the country as a whole the temperature was equal to the
1991 to 2020 mean, but 0.3°C below the mean of the last ten years. It was
relatively warmest around the South coast. The total annual
precipitation was slightly above or slightly below

In Stykkishólmur the precipitation has been measured almost continuously since 1856 (a few months in 1919 are missing). 2010 was the fifth driest of the series; it was driest 1881, 1915, 1916 and 1998. The annual total was only 65% of the annual average.
In the North and East the total precipitation in 2010 was slightly

discussion, this effect might initially be
taken into account by a local lowering of the ice surface, corresponding to the negative mass
balance perturbation, without consideration of ice flow dynamics. This could be combined with
a crude maximum on the total lowering based on an ice thickness estimate to take the limited
ice volume into account. Local lowering of the glacier surface would, however
