Bertha a sign of global warming

Nearly two weeks after forming, Bertha is STILL a tropical storm – AND, could STILL be at tropical storm strength when it hits Iceland.

Has Iceland ever been hit by an officially designated tropical storm before?

Bertha has already set a record as the longest-lived July hurricane on record, as well as the longest-lived July tropical storm and the farthest-east forming one.

Meanwhile, even though the eastern equatorial Atlantic isn’t quite as warm this year as it was in 2005, tropical storm activity is keeping up a steady clip there already.
