Here is the plot of temperatures for the past year at Eureka, Nunavat, from the Climate Prediction Center. Eureka is on the Fosheim Peninsula, on the north-central side of Ellesmere Island at 80N. Unlike other northern Canadian weather stations in the high Arctic, Eurerka is set back on a deep fjord, so has a less maritime climate that other sites. The middle plot shows the 30-day running mean, which smooths out the day to day variation in "weather", though as the top plot shows, temperatures have been monolithically above normal since early May.
