Publish Date: 7 October 2021
WMO has adopted a unified Earth system approach to ensure weather, water and climate decisions are better informed by an integrated monitoring and prediction of all relevant Earth system components. This includes extending its reach to the furthest and most frigid parts of the globe, the Arctic, Antarctica and the high-mountain regions, where the cryosphere is a prominent feature.

Publish Date: 11 June 2021
Above normal air and sea-surface temperatures are expected over the majority of the Arctic regions in June, July, and August 2021. Lower to near normal ice cover is the predominant forecast while early to near normal break-up of sea ice is expected for most regions. This is according to a new seasonal climate outlook produced by the Arctic Climate Forum.
