Atmospheric blocking is when a high-pressure system, with air rotating clockwise around it, stalls over a particular region -- in this case northern Scandinavia. In tandem with this high-pressure system, rain events in Svalbard are also often associated with a low-pressure system that settles in over Greenland, which rotates counter-clockwise," Lapointe says.
