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. [2] [5] For comparison, this is 10.7 °C (19.3 °F) colder than subliming dry ice (at sea level pressure). The elevation of the location is 3,488 ...
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.
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 ...
What is the coldest day in Wisconsin's history? The lowest recorded temperature in Wisconsin was -55 degrees in Couderay on Feb. 4, 1996. Couderay is in Sawyer County, near the northwestern tip of ...
While colder temperatures have been recorded at Vostok Station, Antarctica (minus 128.6 degrees on July 21, 1983) and Klink Station, Greenland (minus 93.3 degrees on Dec. 22, 1991), Oymyakon's ...
One thing about the cold weather and Chicago — it’s not new. While the record took place Jan. 20, 1985, many of the city’s lowest recorded temperatures came from arctic snaps in 1872 and 1899.
Record of atmospheric temperature taken from EPICA ice core in Antarctica. The Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR) was a climatic event of intense atmospheric and oceanic cooling across the southern hemisphere (>40°S) between 14,700 and 13,000 years before present that interrupted the most recent deglacial climate warming (c. 18,000-11,500 years BP).
A new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit -135.8 degrees. Then on July 31 of this year, it ...
