Arctic sea ice extent averaged for July 2015 was the 8th lowest in the satellite data record. Through 2015, the linear rate of decline for July extent is 7.2% per decade.
My prediction for this year’s September minimum: it won’t break the 2012 record, but it will still be lower than the average of the last ten years.
