Summary Arctic sea ice extent for September 2024 was joint-4th lowest on record. Areas of moderately low ice extent were evenly spread over most of the Arctic, though a small area of isolated ice survived in the Chukchi Sea Summer Arctic weather was warm early in the season but cool later

for both methods throughout the melt season (Figure 4). This is likely because the immediate effect of the July Arctic Dipole was to cause an Arctic-wide drop in ice concentration, which did not feed through into ice extent until much later in the season.

However, for the middle of the melting season conditions were cooler with near-average ice loss. Predictions of September 2022 sea ice tended
