Daily volume and volume-anomaly graphs, updated with this data.

The extent increases have stopped, today the extent dropped a little mostly in the  ESS and CAB. Area is still increasing, the CAB saw a big +60k, partly offset by the -23k drop in the ESS.

Update 20170904.

Extent: -25.9 (+643k vs 2016, +366k vs 2015, -472k vs 2014, -419k vs 2013, +1242k vs 2012)
Area: +17.9 (+817k vs 2016, +275k vs 2015, -336k vs 2014, -573k vs 2013, +1165k vs 2012)
