Solar activity affecting hot spot activity at Svalbard. This paper not only describes effects by charging of the ionosphere but also enhanced tidal pumping in the Northern Hemisphere during the Summer Solstice.

"Afternoon Joule heating hot spots are associated with high values of ionospheric electric fields and slightly enhanced Pedersen conductances. The Joule heating hot spot values are larger in summer than in winter, which can be explained by the higher Pedersen conductances during summer than winter."

There are several papers describing how tidal pumping by the Sun-Moon & planetary alignments, Milankovitch cycles, precession, obliquity, orbital eccentricity as well as Earth’s rotation all shuffle around our tectonic plates. Completely unappreciated energy inputs onto the surface of the Earth.
