Poor summer. Like in many other places.

People might be surprised to see how today's frigid Greenland looked during the last two interglacial periods. Today, northwest Greenland hovers in the 30s and low 40s Fahrenheit and weathers snowstorms in summer. But average summer temperatures in the early Holocene (8,000 to 11,000 years ago) and Last Interglacial (116,000 to 130,000 years ago) climbed well into the 50s. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/06/180604151150.htm |

The temperatures have been higher than normal in the winter months and lower in the summer for the past few years. This might be due to increased cloud cover which is blocking incoming sunlight when the sun shines in the summer and blocking the outgoing radiation in the winter when the sun never shines.

Ding ding, calling time on above freezing temp Arctic?? (Nearly....)  |

Ding ding, calling time on above freezing temp Arctic?? (Nearly....) I think this is when we hold our hands over our heads and scream when we go down. |

NSIDC northern hemisphere sea ice extent looking quite robust, compared with recent years.  Global sea ice area is above the 2000 - 2019 average.  |

2013 and 2014 were fairly cold winters in the US Midwest. Would seem that a cold 2021-22 winter ought to show up in this stat. What happened to 2018?

2021 daily NSIDC sea ice extent is in 11th place for 8.24. We are 1 - 3 days behind 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2014. It is possible, we will fall into 15th place within the next week.  Additionally, it has been anomalously cold in the western arctic for the past several weeks. There are already reports of melt ponds freezing over in the high arctic. The cold anomalies have been centered outside of 80 north. With positioning and orientation of the ice pack, could we make history and see a record early minimum this year? Looking at the daily trend line, we will almost certainly see an earlier than average minimum (daily losses continue to be below average, and average losses with respect to time, continue to decrease ahead of the average pace). |

 Ufa, Artic temperatures from Climate4you don't look especially cold. I am still puzzled why the sea ice extent seems to be holding up so well Hopeful of a modest recovery this year. If Astro is right we might see a further recovery next year I noticed NSIDC stated "The Northern Sea Route appears closed off in 2021, despite being open each summer since 2008" This certainly suggests a big change this year. Hope I haven't spoken too soon! |

Arctic sea ice extent should be nearing or at minimum in about two weeks, no, Mr.Neil?
