What is the average temp in Antarctica in winter?

Answer 1

Antarctica is a large continent, as large as US and Mexico combined, which covers 10% of the earth's surface. Since it's in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed, meaning that the coldest days are in the Antarctic winter: June-September.

So giving you an average temperature of that much landmass won't give you much information.

Antarctica is roughly 30 degrees F colder than its counter-part in the Northern Hemisphere, because it's land. (Frozen ice covers the North Pole location.)

The coldest temperature officially recorded in Antarctica was recorded at Vostok Station in 1983: -129 degrees F. However, an informal record of minus 132 degrees F was reached in 1997. (See link, below.)

As well, there are parts of Antarctica, in the Antarctic Peninsula, where it's warm enough to rain.

Answer 2

All of the Antarctic continent is polar. It's cold on average.

Temperatures can range from the plus 40s and 50s F. to minus 100s, depending on your location -- the continent is as large as Mexico and USA combined -- and the season.

Answer 3

The average temperature in Antarctica during winter can range from -40°C to -60°C (-40°F to -76°F). Antarctica is one of the coldest places on Earth, with temperatures sometimes dropping even lower in certain regions.

Answer 4

Water around the Antarctic continent remains liquid above about 28 degrees F, depending on the amount of mineral in the water.

Answer 5

The average temperature in winter is -13.7
