and Canadian coast, while the ice-ocean model PIOMAS estimated April Arctic sea ice volume to be the third lowest in the satellite era. The extremely low ice thicknesses in areas vulnerable to melt are likely to explain the relatively low September sea ice Figure 3: Average temperature anomaly at 925mb

. Underlying map and data courtesy of NSIDC. July 2016 in context The average July Arctic sea ice extent was 7.84 million square km - the third lowest July extent since satellite records began in 1979. This July's extent was 1.63 million square km below the 1981-2010 average and 0.15 million square km

. The HadCRUT4 global temperature series shows that the average for 2019 as a whole was 1.05±0.1 °C above pre-industrial levels, taken as the average over the period 1850-1900. 2019 is nominally the third warmest year in the HadCRUT4 series. NASA and NOAA have also published their global mean
