Anyone know if this is unusual this far north in Greenland in January?
Well given the fact it's snowing at -1c in parts of Greece and 0c in Istanbul with snow then yes I would say it is very rare despite it having an Atlantic influence to see temperatures of up to +4c in Greenland with rain when parts of southern and eastern Europe like Greece and Turkey (Istanbul for instance are at 41.0082° N) yet are experiencing below freezing temperatures with snow erratic.
I don't know if rain has ever fallen in January especially in NUUK/Godthab where it is 64.1814° N. I doubt the Inuit's are use to seeing rain in mid winter (January)!?
Anyway, it's all a temporary thing and it will turn back to snow tomorrow and turn colder but not colder than average but for Greenland to see rain in January must be rare for sure.
