The third lowest July for Arctic Ice Extent August 3, 2016 5:50 pm ER

Experts are saying this year’s mid-September low will probably not beat the 2012 all-time low ice record. But most are saying it will be close. We’ll see. We still have six weeks before we find out.

Arctic sea ice extent for July averaged 8.13 million square kilometers (3.14 million square miles), the third lowest July extent in the satellite record. This makes July only the second month so far this year that did not have a record low extent. July’s extent is 190,000 square kilometers (73,000 square miles) above the previous record low set in 2011, and 1.65 million square kilometers (637,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 long-term average.

Through 2016, the rate of decline for the month of July is 72,700 square kilometers 28,070 square miles) per year, or 7.3 percent per decade.
