The coldest ball drop occurred in 1917–18, when the temperature was 1 °F (−17 °C) and the wind chill was −18 °F (−28 °C). Affected by a continent-wide cold wave, the 2017–18 drop was the second-coldest on record, at 9 °F (−13 °C) and −4 °F (−20 °C) after wind chill. The third coldest ball drop occurred during the 1962 ...
Satellite measurements of the surface temperature of Antarctica, taken between 1982 and 2013, found a coldest temperature of −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) on 10 August 2010, at . Although this is not comparable to an air temperature, it is believed that the air temperature at this location would have been lower than the official record lowest air ...
The next world record low temperature was a reading of −88.3 °C (−126.9 °F; 184.8 K), measured at the Soviet Vostok Station in 1968, on the Antarctic Plateau. Vostok again broke its own record with a reading of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) on 21 July 1983. [8] This remains the record for a directly recorded temperature.
On Feb. 6, 1933, 92 years ago, Oymyakon, Russia, plunged to minus 89.9 degrees. That still stands as the world's coldest temperature recorded at any permanently inhabited town.
Here's a statistic: On Earth, 18 of the last 19 years have been the warmest in recorded history. And as both NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on ...
In 1942 and 1943, no ball was dropped in Times Square due to World War II. New York City participated in a dim-out to ring in 1943. ... 2021's ball drop was also scaled back, only allowing 15,000 ...
500 million years of climate change Ice core data for the past 400,000 years, with the present at right. Note length of glacial cycles averages ~100,000 years. Blue curve is temperature, green curve is CO 2, and red curve is windblown glacial dust (loess).
An intense blast of cold air shattered records in the central United States this week with temperatures up to 50 degrees below average. The bitter cold is pushing into the South and East to end ...
