Its August, the NSIDC figures for July are posted August 4, 2020 5:48 pm hank

.

Including 2020, the linear rate of decline of July sea ice extent is 7.48 percent per decade, or 70,800 square kilometers (27,300 square miles) per year. This corresponds to about the size of the state of North Dakota. Over the 42-year satellite record, the Arctic has lost about 2.90 million square kilometers (1.12 million square miles) of ice in July, based on the difference in linear trend values in 2020 and 1979. This is comparable to about the size of the states of Alaska, Texas, and California combined.

Summer Ice minimum is in mid-September. I expect the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean will be about half what it is right now.
