Here's an update on Arcitc sea-ice extent, which is still at a record low for the date, about 180,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low set just last year.
This isn't going to end well.

After a modest decline over the first half of the year (and after record 2024 warmth), global temperatures are ticking back up. The past two days have been the warmest on record for this time of year in ERA5 and the highest temperature anomalies since January.
