Yesterday I noted that 2018 avoided a record low max by 6,000 sq km.

As of day 73 Arctic was still climbing and max for 2018 is 57,000 sq km higher than the max for 2017.

   Year   Max  Day
 4 2016 14.576 81
 3 2015 14.554 53
 2 2018 14.504 73
 1 2017 14.447 64

The latest day of Max was 90 in 1995 and 2010.

With a late surge in the Arctic , 2018 has avoided setting a record for lowest max by 6,000 sq km so far. 2017 is still the the leader.
