Christmas Eve ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record for this time of year (JAXA data)...
• about 570,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,180,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,730,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,080,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Most of the #Arctic is experiencing warming temperatures over the last four decades in December. This is even larger over areas with a loss of sea ice cover, such as the Barents-Kara Seas region.

Things are really not good around the North Pole. Anomalous warmth continues, alongside record low #Arctic sea ice conditions. Nearly every time I check the data, there seems to be yet another new record this fall.
