Arctic weather temperatures

The average temperature in January in various Arctic regions is between -40°C and 0°C, and the lowest temperature in most areas in winter can be as low as -50°C. The average temperature in July is between -10°C and 10°C, and the highest temperature in summer can reach over 30°C in some areas.

From the perspective of global climate change in 2022, in fact, a high temperature of 32.5 degrees in the Arctic is not an abnormality. After all, the high temperatures around the world are very fierce, and they are always the "once-in-a-hundred-year" and "the strongest ever" temperatures.

According to national satellite meteorological data, during June 2022, the areas with global surface temperatures above 40°C and 50°C accounted for 16.77% and 4.23% of the world respectively.

North Africa, Asia, South Asia, North America, Europe and other places have experienced surface temperatures above 50 degrees for more than 5 days. For example: Shanghai, my country, also experienced a once-in-a-century high temperature, reaching over 40 degrees.

Arctic weather temperatures are displayed based on monitoring data.

The Antarctic sea ice coverage in June 2023 is approximately 13.07 million square kilometers, the lowest value in recent years, which is approximately 722,000 square kilometers less than the average sea ice area for the same period from 2019 to 2021 (a decrease 5.2%), a decrease of approximately 1.729 million square kilometers (a decrease of 11.7%) compared with the same period last year. The same goes for the Arctic.

The rare high temperature in the Arctic has once again triggered heated discussions. In July this year, the temperature in the Arctic Circle once soared to 32.5 degrees Celsius. As a result, the ice sheet covering Greenland, the world's largest island, is also melting at an accelerated rate. Scientists in the Arctic even played ice volleyball in shorts and shorts.

So it is quite rare. Wearing short sleeves in the Arctic is definitely a "bad signal", which shows that the development of global warming is still expanding.
