North Pole has melted

A powerful storm in the North Atlantic picked up in the Arctic warm air masses, which led to a record warming - for a while the temperature at the North Pole has risen above zero. It is reported by The Washington Post.
December 30 the temperature of the vast territory around the North Pole fluctuated between minus one and plus one and a half degrees Celsius. Buoy 64760, located at latitude 87.45 degrees north latitude, showed maximum - 0.7 degrees.
The abnormal situation due to two strong weather events. The system of low pressure (cyclone), which is on the United States and Northern Europe, along with the high-pressure system (anticyclone) over Siberia to the North Pole pushed the warm Mediterranean air.
Around the air anticyclone moves clockwise around the cyclone - in the opposite direction, resulting in the convergence of the two systems the air like a vacuum cleaner sucking explain meteorologists. Unusual is not the weather, and their intensity and powerful combinatorial effect.
However, temperatures above zero in the winter at the North Pole - this is a temporary phenomenon, scientists believe. Much more dangerous is the summer melting of Arctic ice. Melting North Pole journalists called ideal end of 2015, which is already recognized as the warmest on record.
