September temperatures have been unusually high, according to data from the Berkeley Earth dataset. The Arctic and Antarctic regions have also witnessed highly anomalous temperatures, with departures exceeding 5°C above/below the reference period. Additionally, the size of the global sea ice departure is growing to its most anomalous yet this year due to unusually low sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic. Scientists have observed that over 40% of Antarctica's ice shelves have reduced in volume over the past 25 years, with four dozen ice shelves shrinking by at least 30% since 1997. This alarming melt in Antarctic ice shelves has raised concerns among researchers. These climate patterns highlight the ongoing impact of climate change on the polar regions.
