Con lo zero termico salito a 4 727 m al radiosondaggio delle 00Z di Novara Cameri, sul Monte Rosa la minima del 28 giugno si è portata a -0,6 °C ma è possibile che il dato ufficiale (espresso in UTC) sia superiore a 0 °C @joackiie.bsky.social
Heatwave in Antarctica The maximum reached on June 27 at the South Pole Station (-40.7 °C) is the highest for the end of the month (June 27-30). Previously, -40.9 °C on June 28, 2013
An impressive heat dome over central Europe, with a record-breaking freezing level exceeding 5000 m over the Alps today and forecast to reach 5500 m over Italy on Sunday! A return to near-normal temperatures is expected by next Saturday.
L'1 giugno il vento solare supera i 1 000 km/s in coincidenza con una tempesta geomagnetica di classe G4 i cui effetti persisteranno fino a domani Si tratta di una velocità altissima, seppur ancora lontana dal record di 1 850 km/s registrato il 29-30 ottobre 2003
The Dome C region and the Ross Ice Shelf remain the two coldest places in Antarctica Concordia's unofficial minimum temperature on April 14 was -77.1 °C, the sixth day with a minimum temperature below -75 °C Data taken from www.climantartide.it
Fifth day with minimum temperature below -75 °C in Concordia, Antarctica 9 April -77.2 °C 10 April -77.6 °C 11 April -76.7 °C 12 April -78.0 °C 13 April -78.6 °C seasonal low in Antarctica An extraordinary string for the first half of April Data taken from www.climantartide.it
The minimum reached on April 12 at Concordia (-78.0 °C) is the second lowest recorded in Antarctica in the first half of the month These are the precedents: Plateau Station -78.0 °C on April 11, 1968 (original reading -108.4 °F) Vostok -78.8 °C on April 13, 1998
Another seasonal minimum in Antarctica was recorded on April 12 again at Concordia with -78.0 °C Never before have values been so cold in the first half of April Data taken from www.climantartide.it @extremetemps.bsky.social

On April 10, another small step towards deep cold in Concordia, where the minimum reached -77.6 °C at 14:44 UTC Data taken from www.climantartide.it The Russian base of Vostok on April 11 (due to the time zone) recorded -77.2 °C
On April 9, the minimum at the South Pole Station reached -70.2 °C, the first seasonal day below -70 °C
The final low at Concordia on April 9 was -77.2 °C at 19:44 UTC At Dome CII AWS, near Concordia, -75.0 °C at 20:58 UTC
New Antarctic seasonal minimum has arrived A temperature of -76.5 °C was recorded in Concordia on April 9 (unofficial value) Data taken from climantartide.it

Concordia's provisional April 9 temperature (-75.5 °C) tied the seasonal Antarctic minimum recorded on March 29 Almost all of East Antarctica is currently below the temperature reference Data taken from www.climantartide.it
Linda Keller, Emeritus Researcher of the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center, said: the -74.1 °C reading at Dome CII AWS is official and sets the coldest March temperature ever recorded
A reading of -74.1 °C recorded on March 29 at Dome CII AWS is now under quality control of the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center (Wisconsin University) for reliability
Seasonal low in Antarctica holds (-75.5 °C in Concordia) for 0.1 °C On April 2 in Vostok the minimum reached -75.4 °C
On April 1, Vostok also broke the -70 °C threshold with -70.8 °C at 12Z April - September in the Antarctic climate is the long winter season, when the temperature can drop below -80 °C
In Concordia (Antarctica) March ended with this remarkable cold streak (daily lows) 28 March -72.4 °C 29 March -75.5 °C 30 March -75.1 °C 31 March -74.6 °C Data taken from climantartide.it Pic by PNRA - Programma nazionale di ricerche in Antartide
The monthly average for March at Vostok (Antarctica) was -58.5 °C or -0.8 °C on 2005-24 reference In the pic: Vostok old station

Meanwhile in Antarctica, Dome CII AWS also reached a new monthly minimum. On March 29 it recorded -73.9 °C and broke the value of -73.8 °C reached on March 27, 2013 Also note the minimum at Byrd AWS (West Antarctica, in the pic) where on March 30 it was recorded -52.9 °C
The official minimum on March 30 in Concordia was -75.1 °C

On March 29 the provisional low in Concordia (Antarctica) reached -73.0 °C. This is the coldest value in the month in the last ten years (-74.0 °C on March 31, 2015 at 19:01 UTC) Data taken from www.climantartide.it
The minimum on March 28 in Concordia was -72.4 °C reached at 21:16 UTC
The first annual value below -70 °C in Antarctica was recorded today (March 28) at Concordia The same values will probably be recorded at other weather stations this evening (e.g. Vostok) Data taken from www.climantartide.it

Around -70 °C but not exceeded. On March 27, the lows in Antarctica were recorded at Vostok with -69.1 °C and at Dome Fuji AWS with -69.4 °C, a new seasonal low
The first seasonal value below -60 °C at the South Pole Station was recorded on March 25 with -61.5 °C It's the second most delayed -60 °C in history of the station (since 1957) after March 28, 2021
