What is the coldest year on record?

Answer 1

The coldest temperature recorded in the world was -89.2°C (-128.6°F) at Станция Восток (Stantsiya Vostok) (Station East), Antarctica on 1983-07-21.

The next quoted record would be 134°F (57°C) at Furnace Creek Ranch (called Greenland Ranch at the time), Death Valley, California, United States of America on 1913-07-10. However, at that time official stations in the United States of America all measured 3.5 feet (1.0668 meters) off the ground. Today stations in the U.S.A. measure at 4 to 6 feet (1.2192 to 1.8288 meters). According to the World Meteorological Organization, temperature should be measured 1.25 to 2 meters (4.1010 to 6.5617 feet) off the ground.

The hottest reliably measured temperature in the world was 129°F (54°C) at Furnace Creek Ranch, Death Valley, California, U.S.A. on 1960-07-20, 1998-07-18, 2005-07-20, and 2007-07-07.

Answer 2

The coldest year on record globally was 1917, during a period known as the Little Ice Age. However, the coldest year can vary by region and is influenced by various factors like local climate patterns, so the coldest year can differ depending on the location in question.

Answer 3

Almost absolute zero, which is 0 degrees K or -273.15 degrees C or -459.67 degrees F. It is recorded in the formation of a Bose Einstein Condensate.

Answer 4

Ask NASA. Or the Met Office. Or George Michael.
