Abstract Statistical analysis of Northern Europe annual temperature against monthly pressure fields reveals that the circulation modes resembling North Atlantic/Arctic Oscillation significantly contribute to annual temperature only in January and February. In November, significant contribution is associated with the Labrador–Scandinavia teleconnection pattern. The January–February and November circulation modes are significantly (negatively) correlated with each other. Copyright © 2003 Royal Meteorological Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
