NOAA’s Arctic Report Card shows a rapidly warming region in trouble. The 20th annual report highlights threats like Atlantification and rusting rivers, underscoring how Arctic warming is outpacing the rest of the world and taking a growing toll.
The rapid warming in the Arctic region is bringing big impacts. (NOAA image)Dating back to at least 1900, Arctic surface temperatures during the period covered by the report card (October 2024-September 2025) were the hottest on record. The region had its warmest autumn, second-warmest winter, and third-warmest summer. Over the last two decades, Arctic fall and winter air temperatures have risen at more than double the global rate.
