Two temperature records were set on February 6, one in each hemisphere, one for warmth, the other for mind-numbing cold. On Feb. 6, 2020, five years ago, Antarctica set its all-time record high of ...
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 ...
Oymyakon has never recorded an above-freezing temperature between 26 October and 16 March inclusive. [20] In Oymyakon sometimes the average minimum temperature for December, January, and February falls below −50 °C (−58 °F): in the record coldest month of January 1931 the monthly mean was −54.1 °C (−65.4 °F).

And it reportedly got so cold in the Russian village, that the new device broke after a -79.6ºF swept across the region. The world record for coldest temperature ever was also recorded in Oymakon ...
Alaska's interior is well known for brutal cold and 54 years ago today its temperature plunged to America's all-time record low. The temperature hit minus 80 degrees at Prospect Creek Camp, Alaska ...
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.
Hawaii is the only state to not record a subzero temperature: The coldest temperature recorded in Hawaii is 12 degrees at the Mauna Kea Observatory, at an elevation of 13,796 feet, on May 17, 1979.
