It seems likely that we've passed the maximum for the 2020/21 refreeze, and so it's time for the first sea ice extent minimum poll of the year.
The annual minimum typically occurs during September, so a lot of weather to come between now and then
Using the NSIDC daily extent, the minima since 2010, in millions of km2, are:

2020:    3.7
2019:    4.1
2018:    4.6
2017:    4.6
2016:    4.1
2015:    4.4
2014:    5.0
2013:    5.0
2012:    3.3
2011:    4.3
2010:    4.6

Spreadsheets and other sea ice data can be accessed through the NSIDC here

I'll try to get these polls up 5 or so days before the end of each month, and then close them at the end of the last day of the month. So give me a nudge if I forget!
