The frequent emergence of this pattern this winter could be a sign of things to come in a warming world. A 2023 study found blocking highs in the Arctic Circle similar to this year’s would ...
[16] [17] This was almost the coldest officially recorded temperature in the Northern Hemisphere (Verkhoyansk had recorded −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) on 5 and 7 February, 1892). Only Antarctica and Greenland have recorded lower official temperatures (the lowest being −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F), recorded at Vostok Station on 21 July 1983).
The polar vortex hit its peak across much of America on Wednesday, with an icy grip that made Arctic Greenland seem like a toasty vacation spot in comparison. At 34 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree ...
During the 2014 January polar vortex, more than 20 people across the country died from the cold as places like Georgia — which rarely see serious cold — dealt with lows under 10 degrees ...
The coldest reliably measured temperature in Verkhoyansk was −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) on February 5 and 7 of 1892. On February 6, 1933, a temperature of −67.7 °C (−89.9 °F) was recorded at Oymyakon's weather station. [5] At the time, this was the coldest reliably measured temperature for the Northern Hemisphere.
The station was officially opened on January 27, 2009. Fully constructed the station is planned to cover an area of 558 m 2. The main building, covering 236 m 2, is planned erected in April 2009. [3] The site is one of the coldest in the world, with temperatures occasionally reaching −80 °C (−112 °F) in the winter.
At least 19 record-cold high temperatures are expected from the Plains into the East. Forecast temperatures will be 25-30 degrees below average for this time of year.
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.
