Without a substantial increase in extent on tomorrows update, looks like we'll be back to lowest on record.

Main reason seems to be the area east to Novaya Zemlya - Dec 9, 2020 vs Dec 9, 2019.
Models are still showing sea surface temperatures to be above 0 °C in some parts of the Kara Sea on Dec 19.

Ob-Kara region - gains between Oct 30 and Oct 28. However looking at 7-day outlook things are not that rosy.

It is impressive that we are still losing ice within the 85°N parallel.

Yep - difference between Sept 14 and Sept 9.

Difference between today and Saturday - those winds have pushed ice edge some 40 - 50 km further north towards North Pole.

And so here is the next question; How much open water will we see between Greenland and the pole next week?

10m GFS wind gust forecast between Mon and Fri next week - area between Greenland and North Pole is going to be really interesting.

5 day difference - look how quickly dark and even white areas vanish over ESS.

In this sector open water area today roughly about 55,000 km² (yesterday 50,000 km²).

Today's Worldview - I don't know the outcome if this area should get some kind of strong cyclone.

5-day difference (May 26 vs May 21). Laptev, Baffin, Beaufort and Barents usual suspects. Kara and ESS are so far holding on. Images: ftp://ftp-projects.cen.uni-hamburg.de/seaice/AMSR2/

Just wanted to say that I highly appreciate both A-Team's and gerontocrat posts. Sometimes you see something interesting and just post short comment, sometimes you prepare for a long time and post bit more informative posts - this is the way it should be.

Small update about FDD (Freezing Degree Days) anomaly north of 80° N between Jan 01 and May 14. May has been significantly warmer than 2017 and looking at the weather forecast it is possible that 2016 level (since start of the year) may be reached.
