As predicted by our Pan-Arctic Alert System, on Tuesday, 22 August 2023 a significant heatwave hit Greenland, which brought rainfall and temperatures that were abnormal for this time of the year. As a result, we observed a sharp increase in ice sheet melt. This heatwave is just the latest tangible indication of a rapidly warming Arctic. We will keep monitoring the forecasts and the live weather station data from Greenland for any future temperature anomalies.
