Bulletin #meteo du 8avril.

Plus court, il revient sur la petite anomalie qui a généré de grandes incertitudes sur la prévision numérique du temps.
L'examen de l'observation eut lieu aujourd'hui et c'est un entre-deux qui finalement se révèle.

Grosse chaleur en France, grosse fraîcheur en Espagne, Portugal et Maroc. L'atmosphère titube aussi...🤢

Prévisions métropolitaines à court terme.

New dataset: sea ice drift, tracked daily. Discover daily gridded data from satellite sensors showing how Arctic and Antarctic ice moves. Essential for tracking climate change impacts.
New dataset: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/datasets/satellite-sea-ice-drift

This dataset is produced by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (@eumetsat) Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (@osi_saf) and made available by the #CopernicusClimate Change Service (through its Climate Data Store).

In September, the #SeaIce global extent was 5.8% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 13th lowest monthly mean, with 11.5% less extent than normal(-681,066km²)
- #Antarctic, 4th lowest monthly mean, with 4.7% less extent than normal (-897,973km²)
As usually, September is the month when the Arctic sees its minimum extent (5,071,505km² on 07/09/2025) and the Antarctic its maximum (18,281,296km² on 13/09/2025)
