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.
[22] [23] By the contrast July is the month where every day has had temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F). Every day of the year has a record low below freezing, with 9 July having the highest record low at −1.5 °C (29.3 °F). In contrast, 4 January has the lowest record high at −27.9 °C (−18.2 °F).
On February 1, 1985, a temperature of −69.3 °F (−56.3 °C) was recorded there, the lowest recorded temperature in Utah, and the second-lowest temperature ever recorded in the contiguous United States. [10] [11] The lowest recorded temperature was −69.7 °F or −56.5 °C at Rogers Pass, Montana in 1954. [10]
A view from the top of the observatory tower at Mount Washington State Park, where the wind chill dropped to 105 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (-79 Celsius) is seen in a still image from a live ...
While North America’s record 134° F has stood for more than a century, Antarctica and Asia have set temperature records in the past decade.
On Thursday, low temperatures in Midland, Texas, reached 14 degrees, smashing the previous record of 19 degrees set in 1955. A day earlier, the city saw a daily record set in 1944 broken.
In recent decades, new high temperature records have substantially outpaced new low temperature records on a growing portion of Earth's surface. [1] Comparison shows seasonal variability for record increases. The list of weather records includes the most extreme occurrences of weather phenomena for various categories. Many weather records are ...
However a review of satellite measurements taken between 2010 and 2013 found several places located along a ridge between Dome A and Dome F which recorded even lower temperatures of −92 to −94 °C (−134 to −137 °F), with the lowest reliable temperature being −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) recorded in 2010, at , at an elevation of 3,900 m ...
