A summary of last month can be found from the NSIDC at https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2024/05/western-arctic-leads-the-way-on-springtime-decline/ *SST data set (OISSTv2.1) is only available since about 1982 Animation of polar stereographic maps showing Arctic sea ice concentration and sea surface temperature anomalies for every April from 1982 to 2024. Blue shading is shown for colder anomalies, and red shading is shown for warmer anomalies. Sea ice concentration is shown with shades of white and grey. There is large spatial variability, but long-term warming sea surface temperatures and decreasing sea ice. A gold line for the 1982-2010 sea ice extent median is also shown.
