Openings in #seaice have begun on the Siberian shelves.
Furthermore, #Barents and southwestern #Kara seas exhibit abnormally low #iceextent.
Maps show the first two weeks of June - mean and anomaly.

Daily Weddell Sea #iceextent has been *record-low for two weeks*;
-right now, the ice extent is less than the previous lowest extent for this day of the year by more than 200.000 km².
I found it interesting to plot the 2023 values against the record max/min (dashed line) and the climatology for the 1980s (purple) and 2010s (green). Are the seasonal variations flattening out in the Weddell Sea?

Still decreasing #Antarctic #seaice extent.
* Each day, #iceextent holds the record-low for this time of year.
* Approaching the yearly minimum, AND approaching an ALL-TIME minimum:
Today, 2.32 mill km²
The three lowest yearly minimums:
- 2022-02-18 2.17 mill km²
- 2017-03-01 2.24 mill km²
- 2023-??-?? ?.??
And #forecasts agree on a continuous decrease in the next days.

Since the beginning of 2023, #Arctic #seaice has been among the 2nd to 8th lowest on record for each day during January; today being the 2nd-lowest after the same day in 2018.
According to the short-term #forecasts the #iceextent will keep increasing in the next few days.

Do you see a trend in the #global #seaice?
Since 2016, the global sea-ice extent has constantly been lower than average within the satellite era of observations.
December 2022 is the second-lowest (December) #iceextent observed in the Antarctic since 1979.
