For the United States, the extremes are 134 °F (56.7 °C) in Death Valley, California in 1913 and −79.8 °F (−62.1 °C) recorded in Prospect Creek, Alaska in 1971. The largest recorded temperature change in one place over a 24-hour period occurred on January 15, 1972 in Loma, Montana, when the temperature rose from −54 to 49 °F (−47.8 ...
The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California, United States, on 15 July 1972. [7] In 2011, a ground temperature of 84 °C (183.2 °F) was recorded in Port Sudan, Sudan. [8] The theoretical maximum possible ground surface temperature has been ...
The actual temperature at the time of 47 degrees below zero tied with a 1934 record for the lowest temperature ever recorded at the station. ... the United States and likely the lowest ever ...
Rogers Pass is the location of the lowest temperature ever recorded in the contiguous United States. On January 20, 1954, a low temperature of −70 °F (−57 °C) was recorded during a severe cold wave. [7] Only Alaska, Antarctica, Canada, Greenland, Kazakhstan and Russia have recorded lower temperatures. Since the establishment of the modern ...
Peter Sinks is a natural sinkhole in northern Utah that is one of the coldest places in the contiguous United States. Peter Sinks is located 8,100 feet (2,500 m) above sea level, in the Bear River Mountains about 20 mi (32 km) east of Logan, within the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Due to temperature inversions that trap cold nighttime air, it ...
Part of the 2020–21 North American winter. The February 2021 North American cold wave was an extreme weather event that brought record low temperatures to a significant portion of Canada, the United States and parts of northern Mexico during the first two-thirds of February 2021. The cold was caused by a southern migration of the polar vortex ...
The cold wave was related to a highly negative North Atlantic Oscillation event during that winter driving cold Arctic air into most of North America. [ 1] February 1936 was the coldest February on record in the contiguous U.S., narrowly eclipsing February 1899. [ 2] It also was the coldest month ever in Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota .
