Yes, I realize that my usual temperature anomaly scale is less than ideal for visualization purposes in this image here. But that's also because the #Arctic was absurdly warm compared to the 1981-2010 climatological average in October 2024.

Data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 reanalysis.

I'm going to do the standard deviation computation for this -- but I'm thinking at least 5, just based on visuals.

Yikes!!!
