As the amount of chlorine and bromine will continue to decline over the next decades, but very slowly, one expects the ozone hole to get smaller and smaller.
The size of the ozone hole this year was expected to be in the same region as in 2000 and 2003, the two largest ozone holes recorded so far.
The size of this year's ozone hole is approaching an all-time high, but it will probably not break any records.
At this stage it looks like this year's ozone hole will be quite average or maybe a little above average.
