At the South Pole, considered the coldest point on Earth, temperatures are rising fast. Temperature data shows that the desolate region has warmed at three times the global warming rate over the ...
At the South Pole, the highest temperature ever recorded was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on 25 December 2011. [16] Along the Antarctic Peninsula, temperatures as high as 18.3 °C (64.9 °F) have been recorded, [clarification needed] though the summer temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) most of the time. Severe low temperatures vary with latitude ...

Climate researchers predicted that average East Antarctic temperatures from 3 August to 13 August would persist at 36 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit above average, higher than temperatures in the last week of July 2024 that were 12 °C (21.6 °F) above average. The Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station recorded its warmest average July temperature ...
Every month a polar climate has an average temperature of less than 10 °C (50 °F). Regions with a polar climate cover more than 20% of the Earth's area. Most of these regions are far from the equator and near the poles , and in this case, winter days are extremely short and summer days are extremely long (they could last for the entirety of ...
