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.

Four dozen Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30% since 1997 and 28 of those have lost more than half of their ice in that time https://t.co/Ccm3eZU7Ye

Last month observed highly anomalous temperatures across nearly all of #Antarctica - departures exceeding 5°C above/below the 1981-2010 reference period... [Data from @CopernicusECMWF ERA5 reanalysis at https://t.co/e7aUafgc7S] https://t.co/JvxwGec6HN
Last month observed #Arctic sea surface temperatures that were consistent with the step change after 2007 (low sea ice year ), but otherwise not particularly notable. Data from OISSTv2.1 at https://t.co/fOekYNcDDi https://t.co/qyEaelG4IH
September temperatures are now out from our Berkeley Earth dataset. Looking at all the Septembers back to 1850 helps highlight just how anomalous this month has been: https://t.co/lzh5i5m1Gm https://t.co/JVdjzJOk4H
