Have a great weekend! Here's your Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record for this time of year (JAXA data)...
• about 500,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,110,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,670,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,000,000 km² below the 1980s mean

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.

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.

• about 1,220,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,780,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,140,000 km² below the 1980s mean

The freeze-up in the Hudson Bay (Canada) has been one of the latest on record for #Arctic sea ice. This is consistent with the long-term trend of a lengthening open water season.
