We know that it is not climate change, because that only makes everything worse, not milder.

You are not wrong there! I have spent considerable time in the north of Scandinavia, and the winters are brutal, and even the summer weather is unpredictable.

My first thought when looking at the plans for far north European space facilities was regarding the winter. It has been mild for the last few years,.( Climate change? ), but I have been up north in winter and it’s been -35c with a meter and a half of snow… ( That’s -31f and 60″ for you lot…lol )

I know the latitude is great for certain orbits, but I can’t see how operations can realistically work for a big chunk of the year.

Surely they factored this into their plans for the facility.
