The coast is warmer; on the coast Antarctic average temperatures are around −10 °C (14.0 °F) (in the warmest parts of Antarctica) and in the elevated inland they average about −55 °C (−67.0 °F) in Vostok. [13] [14] Monthly means at McMurdo Station range from −26 °C (−14.8 °F) in August to −3 °C (26.6 °F) in January. [15]
This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
After the climate optimum, a distinct climate cooling, which lasted until historic times, occurred. [26] [27] [30] [31] The Antarctic Peninsula is a part of the world that is experiencing extraordinary warming. [32] Each decade for the last five, average temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula have risen by 0.5 °C (0.90 °F). [33]
The maximum recorded at Concordia on 17 March was -16.9 °C Pending the final data, in Vostok the value of -20.3 °C set the new monthly record but also exceeds the maximum of February (-22.2 °C ...
The measurement was recorded at the Esperanza base on March 24th, 2015 but was confirmed this week as part of the WMO's ongoing study of extreme weather and climate conditions around the world ...
Antarctica locks up 90 percent of the world's fresh water as ice and would raise sea levels by about 200 ft if it were all to melt. Antarctica hits record high temperature at balmy 17.5°C (63.5 ...
Seasonal lag is the phenomenon whereby the date of maximum average air temperature at a geographical location on a planet is delayed until some time after the date of maximum daylight (i.e. the summer solstice). This also applies to the minimum temperature being delayed until some time after the date of minimum insolation.
It’s been a strange stretch for the icy desert at the bottom of the world. In mid-March, temperatures in parts of East Antarctica soared 70 degrees Fahrenheit
