Update: Missed a few days. My advice … don’t get the flu.

A new global lowest minimum record has been set: 16.709 million sq km on day 48.

(This post is using day 50 data for the graphs. I missed day 48))

The previous global lowest minimum record was from 2006 at 16.766 million sq km. on day 30.

The Arctic may also set a record for lowest maximum unless 330,00 sq km of ice can be found.
