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.
Data from @CopernicusECMWF ERA5.
Line graph time series of monthly mean surface temperature anomalies for the Arctic region only. Every month is shown from 1940 to 2025. There is a long-term warming trend in all months of the year.
Line graph time series of monthly mean surface temperature anomalies for the Antarctic region only. Every month is shown from 1940 to 2025. There is a long-term warming trend in all months of the year, but less obvious than the other regions.
