Places in the Lower 48 states where the forecast for June 2021 favors a much colder than usual June (blue colors) or much warmer than usual June (red), or where the probability of a cold June, a warm June, or a near-normal June are all equal (white). The darker the color, the stronger the chance of that outcome (not the bigger the departure from average). NOAA Climate.gov map, based on forecast data from NOAA CPC. Antarctic sea ice concentration on February 18, 2021, the day that the ice reached its summer minimum extent, compared to the 1981-2010 median extent (yellow line). Map by NOAA Climate.gov, based on satellite data provided by National Snow and Ice Data Center.
