Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Every month, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) publishes a Climate Bulletin which details the current status of the climate. This is developed using key Climate Indicators obtained from Copernicus Earth Observation data. Among the most noteworthy information in the latest bulletin (October 2021) is the fact that, globally, temperatures in October were 0.42°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average for the month. Moreover, the monthly extent of sea ice in the Arctic was 7% below average, the 9th lowest monthly extent in the 43-year satellite data record. This anomaly was particularly evident in the absence of sea ice north of the Svalbard Archipelago. Indeed, this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites, shows that sea ice was still absent north of Svalbard on 12 November 2021. C3S monitors 21 of the indicators used to assess how the climate is changing. All of these data can be found here.
