This post may seem familiar.

The most current Antarctic Sea Ice Extent data is from day 61.

I thought day 49 was the minimum. I was wrong. It may be day 59 … and I could still be wrong.

Antarctic minimum is approaching (or may have occurred) 2017 and 2018 were lowest minimums. 2019 is 7th lowest (although that may change a bit).

That kind of oscillation is “normal” and getting larger. The oscillation graph is just Day 99 but thats close to the normal day of min.
