"From now on, the melt will dominate," Huss continued. This year's weather has been a blessing for the Swiss glaciers so far.
According to the Swiss Glacier Monitoring Network (Glamos), at the end of April there was around 31% more snow on all of Switzerland's 1,400 glaciers than the average for the years 2010 to 2020. Since these measurements were taken, the condition of the glaciers has improved even further, wrote Huss.
This suggests that the glacier melt in 2024 is likely to be lower than in the two previous years.
In the last two years, Swiss glaciers have lost a total of 10% of their ice. Following the record loss of 6% in 2022, glacier ice melted by a further 4% in 2023.

Comment: Interesting that the source of this article chose the headline "The glacier melt in the Swiss Alps has begun", which does not reflect the news that all the glaciers are all above normal. It is still very much an inconvenient truth to the MSM that the warming they have invested so much in, isn't happening anymore.
