The merrie monthe of Maye June 9, 2021 4:12 am ER

.

from the National Snow and Ice Datacenter…

Overall, the pace of ice loss was slower than average, leading to only the ninth lowest May extent during the satellite data record. Through 2021, the linear rate of decline for May sea ice extent, relative to the 1981 to 2020 average extent, is 2.7 percent per decade. This corresponds to 35,400 square kilometers (13,700 square miles) per year, about the size of the state of Maine. The cumulative May ice loss over the 43-year satellite record is 1.49 million square kilometers (575,000 square miles), based on the difference in linear trend values in 2021 and 1979. This is roughly twice the size of the state of Texas.
