Arctic sees second lowest November sea ice extent on record, favouring another cold season of extremes in mid-latitudes

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported on December 6 that November Arctic sea ice extent was the second lowest on record. Ocean waters normally ice-covered in parts of the Arctic are pumping heat into the atmosphere, altering atmospheric circulation, and contributing to extreme weather conditions that extend into mid-latitudes. A similar pattern was evident during the Fall of 2009 and the following Winter, as cold Arctic air pushed into some mid-latitude regions while warm air surged into parts of the Arctic.
