NOAA Arctic Report Card 2025 : Surface Air Temperature

Puntos clave

The aim is to assess the trends in surface air temperatures across the Arctic region over recent decades.
Analyzed temperature data from the Arctic region (60° N-90° N).
Compared changes in Arctic temperatures to global temperature trends.
Evaluated the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on temperature increases.
Arctic surface air temperatures have increased nearly three times faster than the global average since 1980.
Notable increases in temperatures were particularly evident during winter months.
The findings highlight significant effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions on Arctic climate.

Resumen

Pan-Arctic (60° N-90° N) surface air temperatures continue to increase faster than those for the planet as a whole (90° S-90° N), especially during winter (Ballinger et al. 2025). Since 1980, the Arctic annual air temperatures have warmed nearly three times faster than the global mean due to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Sweeney et al. 2023; Zhou et al. 2024).
