MIND-BLOWING - the extent of Greenland ice melt

"So I near had a stroke seeing this..."

"I'm looking at forecasts for the Arctic...swaths of Greenland above freezing for days. With the interior well above zero F (lots of teens and 20s). Over the Eastern Siberia to the shore of the East Siberian Sea? 70s and 80s during the day and 50s and 60s at night. Same weather I'm experiencing today in Lincoln, Nebraska...but on the shores of the Arctic Ocean."

HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER ARCTIC

Melt extent over Greenland was well over 40% on June 12, 2019. The surface melt map that day shows many coastal areas for which data are missing, as indicated by the grey color. 

As the June 13, 2019, NASA Worldview satellite image shows, snow and ice in many coastal areas has melted away.

The Nullschool image shows air temperatures over Greenland as high as 22.1°C or 71.7°F on June 13, 2019, at 1000 mb. Very high temperatures are also visible over East Siberia and the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS).
