Sea ice continues to melt away in the Bering Sea. The "swiss cheese" pattern of open water interspersed with areas of high ice concentrations is typical for May. Open water increasing in the Chukchi Sea west of Alaska's North Slope but little open water in the southern Chukchi. #akwx #Arctic #Seaice

Sea ice continues to melt away in the Bering Sea and the "swiss cheese" pattern of open water interspersed with areas of high ice concentrations is typical for May. The Bristol Bay ice though is very unusual this late in the Spring. Open water increasing in the Chukchi Sea offshore of Alaska's North Slope but little open water yet in the southern Chukchi. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

Carte des glaces du 18 août 2008 le long de la côte du Groenland nord-est (à gauche, c'est plus évident sur les cartes en couleur actuelles) entre 75° et 80° nord, en noir et blanc, au-dessus de la carte marine du Scoresbysund. Sur la carte des glaces on peut voir quelques relevés de la route, suivie par le MV Grigoriy Mikheev.

Sea ice melt continues apace in the Bering Sea with the total extent well below the 1991-2020 median. The most unusual feature is the persisting ice in upper Bristol Bay. This is the latest in the Spring with sea ice in Bristol Bay since May 2012. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce @[email protected]

Antarctic sea ice defied global warming for decades – now, hidden ocean heat is breaking through | The-14

Scientists warn Antarctic sea ice collapse may accelerate global warming as hidden ocean heat rises, threatening ecosystems and climate balance.

Lovely sunny Thursday at Nome (26F, -3.3C at Noon), with the Nome National Forest hanging tough on the shorefast sea ice. Nome sea ice radar shows the shorefast ice is currently stable out to about 3.5 miles from town. #akwx #SeaIce @[email protected]

The coming #ElNiño could be the strongest in over a century. 
Warming water in part of the #PacificOcean is raising the odds for the biggest El Niño on record. The #weather pattern could fully form by July. 
It could lead to record high global #temperatures & #food shortages, & shift patterns of #droughts, #floods, humidity & #SeaIce across the planet.

Why the odds keep rising for the strongest El Niño in a century

It’s the third consecutive month that multiple models have predicted that a potentially record-breaking El Niño could drive global temperatures to new highs.

Arctic Winter Ice Extent Hits Historic Low

Arctic sea ice maximum in 2026 tied the 2025 record low. This affects polar bears and seals and means more summer melt.
