"The hole in the ozone layer has begun to form early this year, prompting
warnings that a larger-than-average hole may further warm the Southern Ocean
while the level of Antarctic sea ice is at a record low.
Satellite data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
suggests the hole has already begun to form over Antarctica.
Dr Martin Jucker, a lecturer at the Climate Change Research Centre at the
University of New South Wales, said the hole usually began forming at the end
of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December.
“Starting in August is certainly very early,” he said. “We don’t usually expect
that.”"
