Now looking at a spatial view of temperature anomalies during the December to February 2025 period again highlights the relative Arctic warmth and lack of cold departures to be found anywhere outside of the central Pacific.

Nearly all of the waters surrounding the current area of #Arctic sea ice were warmer than average during the month of February 2025. This was particularly notable at the ice edge near Alaska.

London Rules
I recently watched an intriguing series on Apple TV titled Slow Horses. Spanning four seasons, the show features a stellar cast led by Gary Oldman, who delivers a compelling performance as Jackson Lamb, a seasoned yet shrewd MI5 agent in charge of a team of misfit spies. The series masterfully blends humor with thrilling espionage, making it irresistibly engagingâI was hooked from the very beginning. Each season is adapted from one of Mick Herron's novels in the Slough House series, with the first season closely mirroring the events of the first book, and so forth. After finishing the final season, I craved more and decided to delve into the books. I recently completed the fifth installment, London Rules, and highly recommend adding it to your reading list. Needless to say, Mick Herron has firmly secured a spot on my list of must-follow authors.
