In winter, temperatures at the North Pole and in the Arctic can range from about −43 °C to −26 °C , or −45 °F to −15 °F. Summer temperatures average around the freezing point, which is 0 °C, or 32 °F.

Temperatures are lower at the South Pole and the surrounding Antarctic. Winter temperatures range between −65 °C and −70 °C, and summer temperatures range between −25 °C and −45 °C.

How cold is it right now at the north pole?

The north pole averages around -45 Celsius in winter and around 0 Celsius in summertime. Temperature occasionally drop to -70 Celsius in winter and temperatures can rise up to 20 Celsius in summer. December averages -43 Celsius January averages -46 Celsius and February averages -48 Celsius. February is the coldest month at the north pole. Wind chill combined with very low temperatures can make the wind chill feel like -90 Celsius in the harshest winter weather at the north pole. The south pole is colder than the north pole because it is on high altitude on average 1.3 miles high and it is on the continent. Winter temperatures are aver ageing -65 Celsius at the south pole and summertime temperatures average around -25 Celsius. So as you can see the north pole is a very cold place.


Why the north pole houses more wind and temperature than the south one does?

Because the North is frozen water and the South is frozen land. So it has an effect temperature and wind. Bonus info: The North and South poles are not where they are supposed to be (by only a few thousand miles or a few hundred miles its always changing) and the poles are supposed to switch places any day now so you better get prepared (multiple outcomes, the worst is an ice age (scientist will inform us right before it happens))!

Which pole of compass needle points to a south pole of a magnet is south pole or north pole?

First of all, it's important to understand that the term, 'magnetic north', is a location and has nothing to do with its magnetic polarity. It is called 'magnetic north' to differentiate it from 'true north', because that is where a compass needle points.Originally, the 'north pole' of a magnet (and of a compass needle) was called its 'north-seeking pole' but, over time, the word 'seeking' has been dropped, and we now call it, simply, the 'north pole' -which, by general agreement, is also its magnetic polarity.Since 'unlike poles attract', this means that the magnetic polarity of the location called 'magnetic north' is actually south. Or, to be more accurate, the region deep within the earth below 'magnetic north' is of south magnetic polarity.
