The possibility of a new record low maximum certainly exists. In 10 of the 18 years 2006 to 2023, sea ice area gain from now is low enough to produce a new record low sea ice area maximum

   Normalizing insanity ! Once-in-a-hundred-year-rains" every week...and present it as "fun";https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rYU0HtJkhI or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rYU0HtJkhI 

DJ, floodings in NL last week...

NW Europe did not see muc h extreme heat. However some nights may have been quite warm-so average temperatures still could be high...(but people forget night temperatures are part of the statistics). 

High SeaSurfaceTemperatures (SST)=more evaporation=more rain...

So far the Atlantic Hurricane Season did not yet explode...there are other indicators that are alarming. CO2 in the atmosphere is supposed to go down this time of year...but it is going up...

MultiYearIce (MYI) in the Arctic may be getting record low...

Re: 2024 Arctic Sea ice area & extent data

NSIDC 1-day area is currently 2nd lowest for the date.  The differences between the top 4 years are again very small on this date but will grow larger in the next few days as 2020 plummets and 2019 slows down. 

NSIDC compactness is still record low for the date.

Projections. (Table NSIDC Antarctic-Area-1)
Average remaining freeze (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in Sept 2024 of 13.24 million km2, 0.13 million km2 below the 2023 record low maximum of 13.37 million km2, and would be 1st lowest in the 46 year satellite record

Like with ongoing pandemics human action now may give results much later...Monitoring-increase of it to deal with most major risks-is what we should do NOW !

Of course we have to stop massive airtravel, car use, meat consumption...There is NO ROOM for learning that the hard way...we are killing ourselves !

Wars are even more criminal in the perspective of other crises getting much worse high speed...

We live in the age of insanity ! Crazy is the new normal !
