In temperate regions of the northern hemisphere where cold temperatures are expected seasonally and are usually for long periods of time, the main strategy is freeze avoidance. In temperate regions of the southern hemisphere, where seasonal cold temperatures are not as extreme or long lasting, freeze tolerance is more common. [2]
With fall officially in full swing, cooler temperatures have finally arrived—a welcome change after a hot summer. While autumnal weather can vary, the Farmers' Almanac just released its extended ...
Excess heat, cold or damp can have a harmful effect on the animals and their productivity. [15] Free range farmers have less control than farmers using cages in what food their chickens eat, which can lead to unreliable productivity, [16] though supplementary feeding reduces this uncertainty. In some farms, the manure from free range poultry ...
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 high temperature in Washington, DC, on Wednesday could top out in the mid-50s — 10 to 15 degrees lower than normal for mid-October. Atlanta could struggle to break into the low 60s on ...
The Köppen climate classification is the most widely used climate classification system. [2] It defines a tropical climate as a region where the mean temperature of the coldest month is greater than or equal to 18 °C (64 °F) and does not fit into the criteria for B-group climates, classifying them as an A-group (tropical climate group).

A 2022 Outside article on heat stroke cites the highest known body temperature that a human was able to survive: “The highest body temperature measured was only 17 degrees above normal. Willie ...
[citation needed] Some bulbs – such as tulips – need cold winters to bloom, while others – such as freesia – can survive a freezing winter. [citation needed] Many domestic plants are assigned a hardiness zone that specifies the climates in which they can survive. Winter gardens are dependent upon the cultivation of winter-hardy plants.
