Surface temperature of Antarctica in winter and summer from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on Earth.The continent is also extremely dry (it is a desert [1]), averaging 166 mm (6.5 in) of precipitation per year.
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 ...
Antarctica sees a very rapid and abrupt 6 °C increase in temperatures [2] c. 19,000 BC: Last Glacial Maximum/sea-level minimum: c. 20,000 BC c. 12,150 BC Mesolithic 1 period c. 17,000 BC c. 13,000 BC Oldest Dryas stadial (cool period) during the last Ice age/glaciation in Europe. c. 13,000 BC Beginning of the Holocene extinction.
Antarctic Cold Reversal warmer Antarctic, sea level rise: 12,400: Bølling oscillation warm and wet in the North Atlantic, begins the Bølling-Allerød period (B-S) 12,400–11,500 (much discussed) Older Dryas cold, interrupts warm period for some centuries (B-S) 12,000–11,000: Allerød oscillation warm & moist (B-S) 11,400–9,500
The Antarctic Meteo-Climatological Weather Observatory, established in 1985, attempt to a give a contribution to understand the climate change through the study of the atmospheric dynamics. The programme is defined by two projects supported by the National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA) , one regarding the Victoria Land and the other the ...
Generally, the hottest month is August in the south and July in the north; during these months the thermometer can reach 38–42 °C (100.4–107.6 °F) in the south and 32–35 °C (89.6–95.0 °F) in the north; Sometimes the country can be split as during winter, with rain and 20–22 °C (68.0–71.6 °F) during the day in the north, and 30 ...

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.
