The highest temperature on the Antarctic mainland was 18.3 °C (64.9 °F) at the Esperanza Base (Argentina) on 6 February 2020. [4] The Antarctic temperature changes during the last several glacial and interglacial cycles of the present ice age. The lowest air temperature record, the lowest reliably measured temperature on Antarctica was set on ...
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 ...
Seattle generally does not experience many extremes of weather. However, the 21st century has seen a trend towards more extreme high-temperature and large-precipitation events. In July 2009 Seattle's all-time high temperature was broken by a margin of 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2.2 Celsius), [14] then broken again by a margin of 5 F (2.8 C) in June ...
The 2024 Antarctica heat wave refers to a prolonged and significant mid-winter increase in Antarctic temperatures compared to prior winters, causing several regions of Antarctica to reach temperatures 10 °C (18.0 °F) above normal in July 2024, up to a 28 °C (50.4 °F) increase above average. The heat wave was significant for occurring during ...
The latest data shows high temperatures in portions of East Antarctica – where the most abnormal conditions are ongoing – that are typically between minus 58 and minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit ...
The climate of the Schirmacher Oasis is relatively mild for Antarctic conditions.The annual average temperature is −10.4 °C (13.3 °F) (ranging from 0.9 °C (33.6 °F) in summer to −22.0 °C (−7.6 °F) in winter), [2] the annual average wind speed is 9.7 m/s (22 mph; 18.9 kn), the annual average precipitation is 264.5 mm (10.41 in), and there are 350 hours of sunshine per month.
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.
By 2009, researchers were able to combine historical weather-station data with satellite measurements to create consistent temperature records going back to 1957 that demonstrated warming of >0.05 °C/decade since 1957 across the continent, with cooling in East Antarctica offset by the average temperature increase of at least 0.176 ± 0.06 °C ...
