Greetings!

Apologies on the delayed response and thanks for the kind words and the report. 
This looks similar to the issues identified in this MetPy issue:

   https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy/issues/1322

I'm guessing the root problem is CartoPy. Feel free to follow our progress on 
identifying and fixing the issue there. One workaround you might consider is to 
set the extent before adding the contour labels.

Hope this helps,

Ryan
