June 2026 was cold at both ends of the planet.
The High Arctic (north of 80N) averaged -2.2C (28F) for the month -- by far the coldest June in DMI record books dating back to 1958.
The cold began in mid-May, held through June, and even now in mid-July the High Arctic is still failing to start its melt season.
The other end of the planet was cold too.
Data show below average temperatures across much of Antarctica in June 2026. Vostok averaged -69C which is almost 4 C below normal. The South Pole averaged -60C which made for its coldest June since the historic 'coreless winter' of 2021.
July has now stepped colder again with Concordia down to an anomalous -74.2C on July 12.
June 2026 was not a global heat story as the media would have it told. It was record cold at the top of the planet with below average winter cold at the bottom.
