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 21 July 1983, when a temperature of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) was observed at Vostok Station.
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. Graphic: Temperature records around the world Skip to ...
Record high temperatures reportedly measured in Antarctica will take months to verify, the U.N. weather agency said Sunday. A spokesman for the World Meteorological Organization said the ...
The highest temperature ever recorded at McMurdo was 10.8 °C on December 21, 1987. There is enough snowmelt in summer that a few species of moss and lichen can grow. The average yearly temperature is freezing, but it can get as high as 8°C (46°F) in the austral summer and as low as -50°C (-58°F) in the austral winter.
Antarctic surface ice layer temperature trends between 1981 and 2007, based on thermal infrared observations made by a series of NOAA satellite sensors.. Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities occurs everywhere on Earth, and while Antarctica is less vulnerable to it than any other continent, [1] climate change in Antarctica has been observed.
“For the sake of full disclosure, at this time last year, we said there was only a 1-in-3 chance that 2024 would be the warmest year on record,” Vose said, “so it’s a tough game ...
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 ...
Nearly 1,500 academics, researchers and scientists specializing in Antarctica gathered in southern Chile for the 11th Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research conference this week to share the ...
