May 2024 temperature departures from 1991-2020 normal around the Arctic show a coherent pattern with three main areas of above normal temperatures and three areas of below normal. The warmth in the Nordic Arctic and parts of Canada was notable, while SW Greenland and the western Russian Arctic were notably cool. For the #Arctic overall (land & sea poleward of 60ºN), the May average temperature was 0.4ºC above normal but the coolest May since 2018. #Climate #Canada #Spring2024 @Climatologist49
