This year's #Arctic sea ice freeze-up is clearly the latest on record for the Baffin Bay region (located between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago). The extent of ice cover is a record low for the date there.

In just 25 years, over 3,700 toxic facilities will be at risk of coastal flooding as seas continue to rise due to climate change. And those most affected will be the most vulnerable among us. Learn more in Climate Central’s new Toxic Tides report.

After a modest decline over the first half of the year (and after record 2024 warmth), global temperatures are ticking back up. The past two days have been the warmest on record for this time of year in ERA5 and the highest temperature anomalies since January.
