Changes in March temperatures in the #Arctic by decade... (now updated through 2025 data)

Data from @CopernicusECMWF ERA5 reanalysis.

Early look at March 2026 temperature departures from the 1981-2010 baseline courtesy @[email protected]. Large departures both above and below. North American Arctic much colder than average, while the Arctic Ocean, European Arctic and far northeast Russia way above normal. #Arctic #Climate

North American Arctic much colder than average, while the European Arctic and far northeast Russia much milder than normal, but cold in between. Much warmer than normal over the ice pack. @Climatologist49

Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea has very likely reached its maximum for the season in NSIDC data. Current extent is the highest for Mar 28 since 2013. Unlike the record spring of 2012, extent is much above normal in the eastern Bering Sea but below normal on the Russian side. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

More bad news for climate monitoring. Much like the fiasco with satellite derived sea ice info last summer, the very short notice of termination of a product that’s been available for decades has real world consequences. #Arctic #SeaIce

More bad news about tools for climate monitoring. #Arctic #SeaIce

So, letzte Etappe. Nach #BER, #CPH und #OSL geht es jetzt weiter nach #LYR. #COMPEX Wir kommen. Wetter in #OSL: frostig und Bodennebel. #AC3 #arctic [af]
