Extreme Cold

Extreme cold temperatures, such as minus 50° Celsius, are typically recorded in high-latitude regions, particularly in Antarctica and parts of Siberia, Russia. These conditions can occur during the winter months, with some areas experiencing such frigid temperatures regularly, particularly in January and February, when the Arctic air masses are most prevalent. Locations like the Siberian town of Oymyakon and Antarctica’s Vostok Station are known for reaching these extreme lows, occasionally seeing temperatures dip to or below minus 50°.
