The Laptev Sea saw the highest temperature anomalies (Figure 4b), with a small region exceeding +3°C relative to the 1981-2010 average, partly due to very warm conditions from late June

However, for the middle of the melting season conditions were cooler with near-average ice loss. Predictions of September 2022 sea ice tended
