Last month was statistically tied for the 5th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of December.
This was 1,190,000 km² below the 1981-2010 December average. Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index

Comparison of monthly temperature anomalies in the #Arctic versus the #Antarctic so far in 2025 (yellow lines). The other lines show the monthly anomalies for years from 1940 (blue) to 2024 (red). Note the long-term trends through the color gradient.

Here is a map view of the record high temperatures in October 2025 across the #Antarctic. Compare this blob of anomalies greater than 5°C with the Arctic from my earlier post. Yikes!

🚨 Last month observed the highest average temperature for the month of October across the #Antarctic Circle, with clearly 2025 well above any prior year in the satellite era.
