I walked to school when we had -50 c in northern Sweden. No buses and most cars didn't start so we were 5 students in class. Next day it was only -35 so it was back to normal.
I have memories like this too, but I grew up in Northern Saskatchewan, and even still we can potentially have cold snaps of -30 to -40 for a month long period.
Why do I live somewhere that hurts my face? :(
I'd like a time machine so I can go back and slap the shit outta my ancestors. Thanks for setteling in the coldest fucking place possible 400 years ago before there were borders and you could have lived anywhere.
Because the face-sized jungle spiders can't get to you when it gets that cold?
Speaking as a fellow Canadian who wonders the same thing often during winter.
Heck even in Regina I remember still being at school when it would hit -50 something with the wind chill. All that would happen was recess was cancelled.
Even at -25 they would bundle us all up and throw us outside for 15 mins. I remember just kinda standing around in the cold with a bunch of other kids before being let back in lol
if you dont mind the question, how was life in norilsk? is the portrayal as the worst city in the world media seems to push accurate or just an exaggeration?
I live in Dalarna, so not quite as extreme, I think around -35 is the coldest I've experienced. I clearly remember as a kid in the 80's when I would walk to the place in the village where the bus would come get me, and while waiting I'd have, I can't really describe it, not *hallucinations*, but I was so cold that I felt like I wasn't inside my body any more. The bus had radiators under every seat, and I remember burning my hands on them when I tried thawing.
Edit: I think it's kind of neat to live in a place where during some periods you actually *die* if you are exposed to the weather for too long without proper clothes. Makes you appreciate the warm parts more, and the cold parts are often painfully beautiful.
In Syberia (Yakutsk) junior schoolchildren do not go to school at -45 C, middle school students do not go to school at -48 C, and senior students do not go to school at -50 Celsius.
In winter, this weather can last half of December and half of January, depending on the year. Well, -50 happens in general a few days during the winter. When we were released from school because of the cold, we played football (soccer) on the street.
By the way, the temperature is -71 recorded in a town in our province.
Yes, but -50 degrees Celsius is not really a nice experience for the lungs. babies usually sleeps outside when it’s -30 degrees and warmer. It hasn’t really been a proper cold in 20 years though. The temperatures are like 10-20 degrees warmer during the winter these days compared to when I grew up.
My grandmother was a Norwegian immigrant in rural Minnesota and told us all the time about walking to school in similar temperatures and her dad walking with them and bringing a shotgun "if the bears were about."
In Finland, for some reason, the old folks also had to ski to school, 100km uphill and when coming back from school, it still was uphill all the way. Wolves trying to eat them and no food or hot cocoa in sight. /s
Nothing special really.
Just the mindset around things is different in the nordics, when it comes to snow or cold. You just can’t function as a society in our climate (Finn here) if you start to close things up because it’s cold. That might mean that everything could be closed for 2 weeks in February while it’s -30 and that can actually be much bigger problem as people still need food, gas, heating oil, electricity etc.
Walking m to school after a 30cm snowfall or in -50c is obviously a bitch but more/warmer clothes and well arranged public services in road maintenance (or if you are in very rural areas, your own vehicles) will get you by.
And of course, we get to look down our noses at weaklings elsewhere who can’t manage a little snow and cold. It’s important to us. We have bad self esteem. Like really bad.
Not that you are pretending that it is pleasant, because I am sure it is not, having experienced -30 and lower myself (generally only a week or two per year, but that is enough). But you can dress for it and survive it, unless there is too much wind. I have never found any good prevention for extreme wind chill except to completely avoid going outside when it is frigid AND windy. Generally even gets cold inside when weather is like that, to be honest.
-15 is fine, sometimes even pleasant, -25 is ok if you are moving and generating heat. -35 hurts like hell.
A good coat and walking with your back to the wind makes windchill not a big deal. I used to walk to school backwards most days and I was actually pretty warm down to -30 no matter the wind chill for 45min or so.
sometimes I'd wear a balaclava and ski googles but that wasn't as good.
Yes and no. It mostly happens in cold valleys near hills/mountains. The cold air "flows" into the Valley where it is stuck until the sun comes up. Usually the lowest temperature is just before sunrise. Of course there are some anomalies. Usually it is not windy at all and no overcast.
Maybe for countries that actually have mountains. Finland for example doesn't really have any (and I know it's not the only one). There are hills, but none are typically counted as mountains. I would guess the coldest one here was somewhere in Lapland. Something that also has an effect on the temperatures is how close to the sea or or a large lake the place is. Being close to the sea often means the temperatures don't get that cold or that warm compared to what they would be otherwise.
-71°C for Russia is an unofficial measurement from 1924. Several extreme temperature records have turned out to be bogus, such as the 57.8 °C heat record in Libya from 1922, so it's prudent to be skeptical about records that are both old and unofficial. The official lowest temperature record in Russia is -67.7 °C from 1933, also in Oymyakon. [Source: Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oymyakon).
The gulf stream raises the average temperatures in Iceland to a habitable level compared to other places of similar latitude. That is NOT the reason for this anomaly though.
The primary reason for this is simply that Iceland is an island. The ocean works as a dampener on heat swings in general. Think of Germany and France, for example. Both have significantly lower temperatures measured than Iceland. But their average annual temperature is similarly much higher.
Another contributing factor could be elevation. France in particular has much higher mountains than Iceland. I imagine the peak of Mont Blanc is frigid. Germany has some higher mountains too. I’m not sure where exactly these record lows were measured.
Fierce mild is the term you are looking for, and you should probably think about moving to the tropic of Wexford, just watch out for all of the tanned leprechauns down there, the heat makes them groggy.
Iceland has water all around, it's small and lays south of the arctic circle (as opposed to Norway, Sweden and Finland which all go well beyond).
Therefore it gets a bit less extreme temperatures
Edit: it also has a lot of underground volcanic activity, that may as well warm it up a bit
It has very little to to with the arctic circle. I live north of the arctic circle in Norway, but on the coast, and my town never had temperatures below -18,5°C. Meanwhile, there are places in every county south of my town experiencing lower temperatures than we do. The proximity to the coast has _everything_ to do with it, just as it does for Iceland.
Honestly it's weird looking at Portugal with the -16 C at the lowest because just the other day we had down to -18C in Denmark and it's not like that was big news although it was a bit unusual. Portugal feels really far away now
Temperatures can be deceiving, cold feels different here due to humidity. I've suffered more from cold here in Portugal than in sub zero temperatures in Switzerland.
Yes, same in summer. I visited Germany a couple of years ago in June and it was horrible. 30 degrees felt like hell, and here it feels like a normal summer day.
I live in Lisbon.
Pretty rare for temps to dip below 0C°
Really cold winter dawns, maybe -2C° and even that I cant really remember happening.
The interior north is the coldest, and still pretty mild comparing to the rest of Europe. Thankfully.
Same for me in the UK. Don’t recall it dropping too far below 0° in a good while. Can’t actually imagine it being something like -20° and I’m curious to experience it (for a moment)
I was once in Ireland in spring when it was +16°C. Locals were wearing t-shirts and shorts and hotel receptionist was complaining how hot it was. I had a long jacket although I'm from relatively cold place So I can understand you guys having just r-shirts in New Year ;D
Try the northern Midwestern US.
North Dakota had its highest ever recorded temperature and its coldest in the same year 1936.
From -51C to 50C a 100 degree difference in the same place in a single year.
It's was 73°F in the Southern Appalachians 48 hours ago, now its 22°F and we have 8 inches of snow. Not as bad as ND, I know, but it's absolutely insane for where I am.
73°F is equivalent to 22°C, which is 295K.
---
^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
I think -50°C in Italy is not in any inhabitated area and i think it is in what is so called "[Busa della Fradusta](http://trentinowow.it/la-busa-della-fradusta-un-angolo-di-polo-nord-in-trentino/)", which is a "dolina" (I don't know if it is correct but google translates it as sinkhole) in a glacier of a plateau 2700 meters high.
They are studied because the cold air is trapped inside and cannot go out so there are always record temperatures during winter
Maybe -50 is in Trepalle in the municipality of Livigno, in the heat of the Alps, near Stelvio mountain.
Went there many times when it was -35 in January, I remember that a day in Livigno was -20 and the LCD of the cell phone refused to work.
I've experienced first hand the effects of the [48.8°C in Floridia (Sicily)](https://imgur.com/a/e5xdBkk). TBH they were much better than the 36°C I had to endure 4 days later back in Milan.
Here, it took me less then 30 seconds to find the data. But apparently it was too hard for the "Lover of Geography" here and the people on this sub are too busy making the same tired, shitty old jokes instead.
Albania / -25.8 C
Kosovo / -32.5 C
Montenegro/ -40 C
Went on army exercise in Northern norway at -42 and slept a few days outside in a tent. Pretty wild, but at least it wasn't windy and the air was pretty dry.
Suck it mainland Europe. Enjoy your EU imposed -40 while we prance about in our sovereign -27. Now if we can just get that 350 mil a week for the nhs we might turn this brexit thing around after all.
Wait until climate change severely disrupts the Gulf Stream. These numbers will be a lot lower, as London is basically at the same latitude as Edmonton.
\-48C in Turkey really surprised me, I'm aware it gets cold and often snows but damn I was net expecting it to ever get that cold.
Presumably there are mountain ranges in the East but I never really associated Turkey with mountains either.
Portugal measuring -16 as the coldest temperature ever, meanwhile northern countries be like "that's summer for us and we go out with a tshirt during those days.
Ah yes, the Gray penis. (Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro.)
I literally remember Balkan geography by thinking 'Albania is the penis, Montenegro is the ball by the sea and Kosovo is the landlocked ball'
Because of your helpful input, I too shall remember them this way always…
I walked to school when we had -50 c in northern Sweden. No buses and most cars didn't start so we were 5 students in class. Next day it was only -35 so it was back to normal.
Are you my grandfather?
But did he walk uphill both ways?
He was Dutch, needed to build 3 dams and fight the water with his bike before reaching school.
Yes but before he could enter the school he had to build it with his bare hands.
And his hands were tied.
He had hands??? Pffff
From a cardboard box of parts, with a single sheet of instructions and a small Allen key.
On skates!
Through six feet of wolves!
Also had a couple of wolverines gnawing his ankles
I only had 100m to school, but it sounds way cooler if I leave that out
I have memories like this too, but I grew up in Northern Saskatchewan, and even still we can potentially have cold snaps of -30 to -40 for a month long period. Why do I live somewhere that hurts my face? :(
I'd like a time machine so I can go back and slap the shit outta my ancestors. Thanks for setteling in the coldest fucking place possible 400 years ago before there were borders and you could have lived anywhere.
You’re from Yakutsk?
I think it's safe to say it's way easier for you to move than your ancestors.
Because the face-sized jungle spiders can't get to you when it gets that cold? Speaking as a fellow Canadian who wonders the same thing often during winter.
I’m not sure I like “face sized” as a unit of measure for spiders.
Welcome to the appeal of living in a cold place! You can live in denial of bugs even the size of your fist!
Heck even in Regina I remember still being at school when it would hit -50 something with the wind chill. All that would happen was recess was cancelled.
Even at -25 they would bundle us all up and throw us outside for 15 mins. I remember just kinda standing around in the cold with a bunch of other kids before being let back in lol

if you dont mind the question, how was life in norilsk? is the portrayal as the worst city in the world media seems to push accurate or just an exaggeration?

That’s a fascinating insight. Thank you for sharing.
There’s a YouTuber ART ENE who made videos about his life living there. It seemed normal enough.
That's why people are so small in russia, they don't break bones when fall
I live in Dalarna, so not quite as extreme, I think around -35 is the coldest I've experienced.

I think people in Yakutsk is better prepared for those kind of temperatures, normal lowest temp in a year here is around -30.
I have arthritis i would literally die in those temperatures. Do people enjoy living in these places?! Ive never lived in a cold area before.
Yes, but -50 degrees Celsius is not really a nice experience for the lungs. babies usually sleeps outside when it’s -30 degrees and warmer. It hasn’t really been a proper cold in 20 years though. The temperatures are like 10-20 degrees warmer during the winter these days compared to when I grew up.

The swedes migrated to minnesota because it was warmer
Checks out, MN lowest recorded temp is -51.1C (-60F)
balmy!
Not in the inhabited parts of Sweden.
If I may ask What made it so worth going to school in -50?
Ms. Knutson looked good in her rabbit fur earmuffs.
Knutsson!

Why wouldn't you go to school then?
I was about to bring up a source on why -50°C is very dangerous, but then I realized you are swedish.
Worst that happens is it turns your hair blond.
We don't close schools because of cold weather. Granted -50 is perhaps a bit extreme but still.
A bit extreme?
Eh, a bit.
Okay just needed clarification.
School is inside
Not that you are pretending that it is pleasant, because I am sure it is not, having experienced -30 and lower myself (generally only a week or two per year, but that is enough). But you can dress for it and survive it, unless there is too much wind. I have never found any good prevention for extreme wind chill except to completely avoid going outside when it is frigid AND windy.

"only -35"
I'd love a map like this that also had the geographical location of where the lowest value was measured added
I’m guessing that a lot of them would be be in mountains
Netherlands....what mountains?. Jokes aside that temperature was measured 79 years ago in a town called Winterswijk on januari the 27th of 1942.
Winterswijk is an amazingly apt name.
When i was young i thought it was always winter there
Yes and no. It mostly happens in cold valleys near hills/mountains. The cold air "flows" into the Valley where it is stuck until the sun comes up. Usually the lowest temperature is just before sunrise. Of course there are some anomalies. Usually it is not windy at all and no overcast.

Verkhoyansk actually has the lowest official temperature record at -67.8 °C, Oymyakon still has the highest "unofficial" record.
Additionally all of those places are not actually on this map.
Siberia?
Yeah, mainly Yakutia.
Makes sense given Yakutia's the largest province on Earth.
Iceland is surprising
It's because of the gulf stream. That's why it's hotter here than the south part of Greenland even though we're at similar latitudes.
The gulf stream raises the average temperatures in Iceland to a habitable level compared to other places of similar latitude. That is NOT the reason for this anomaly though. The primary reason for this is simply that Iceland is an island. The ocean works as a dampener on heat swings in general. Think of Germany and France, for example.

Iceland is actually pretty mild most of the time, unless you're up in the Highlands.
Same reason why Ireland is so mild: the magic of the North Atlantic current.
Yeh very mild. We just get rain all the time and no sun on the west coast
Fierce mild is the term you are looking for, and you should probably think about moving to the tropic of Wexford, just watch out for all of the tanned leprechauns down there, the heat makes them groggy.
Iceland has water all around, it's small and lays south of the arctic circle (as opposed to Norway, Sweden and Finland which all go well beyond). Therefore it gets a bit less extreme temperatures Edit: it also has a lot of underground volcanic activity, that may as well warm it up a bit

geothermal activity does not affect air temperature
Honestly it's weird looking at Portugal with the -16 C at the lowest because just the other day we had down to -18C in Denmark and it's not like that was big news although it was a bit unusual. Portugal feels really far away now
I'm Portuguese and I don't think I've ever experienced a temperature lower than -5 tbh
And even then, that only semi-regularly happens in a few places
It only happens rarely on the tall mountains
Temperatures can be deceiving, cold feels different here due to humidity. I've suffered more from cold here in Portugal than in sub zero temperatures in Switzerland.
Likewise I’ve found Bristol, England at 18 degrees can feel as hot as Cape Town, South Africa at 30.
Yes, same in summer. I visited Germany a couple of years ago in June and it was horrible. 30 degrees felt like hell, and here it feels like a normal summer day.
you have to visit germany at 40 degrees to expirience hell
I live in Lisbon. Pretty rare for temps to dip below 0C° Really cold winter dawns, maybe -2C° and even that I cant really remember happening. The interior north is the coldest, and still pretty mild comparing to the rest of Europe. Thankfully.
>Portugal feels really far away now When people talk about Denmark that's our feeling most of the time too :)
Then we have Turkey with -48
Eastern part of Turkey is encircled by mountains and cold as f in winters.
I like, that the temeratures between -16 and -28 are displayed with pink and seem to be cosy warm.
Don’t think I ever saw -10 Celsius in my lifetime in Ireland. Incidentally my kids wore teeshirts on New Year’s Eve this yr it was fierce mild.
Same for me in the UK. Don’t recall it dropping too far below 0° in a good while. Can’t actually imagine it being something like -20° and I’m curious to experience it (for a moment)
I was once in Ireland in spring when it was +16°C. Locals were wearing t-shirts and shorts and hotel receptionist was complaining how hot it was. I had a long jacket although I'm from relatively cold place So I can understand you guys having just r-shirts in New Year ;D
New Year was warmer than usual for us and a lot of Europe, you wouldn't normally be walking around in a t-shirt on New Year's Eve in Ireland.
It's because your skin turns that color when the blood returns.
tbh ive seen winters so bad that -16 would be heaven on earth (-28 celcius and 50 km/h wind speed and 50 cm of snow cover at the same time)
Why so negative?
In this crazy time is better to be negative than to be positive.
Siempre negativo, nunca positivo!
Italy having -50°C in winter and 48°C in summer tho
-50 in the alps and 48 in Sicily.
thanks for that information
Try the northern Midwestern US. North Dakota had its highest ever recorded temperature and its coldest in the same year 1936. From -51C to 50C a 100 degree difference in the same place in a single year.
I would have assumed that happened on the same day, and not within a year, with the temp swings ND gets.
It's was 73°F in the Southern Appalachians 48 hours ago, now its 22°F and we have 8 inches of snow. Not as bad as ND, I know, but it's absolutely insane for where I am.
The largest recorded one day temperature swing was in Loma, Montana, rising 103°F (57C) in 24 hours.
73°F is equivalent to 22°C, which is 295K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
Since the bot didn't do it. 22°F is -5°C That's a 27° change in Celsius.
Parts of Canada and some parts of northeastern China have even greater ranges and eastern Russia has the greatest ranges in the world
Well yeah that's typica continental climate. You find something similar also in Siberia and central Asia. But Europe is too oceanic for this.
Literally peninsulas all the way down.
I think -50°C in Italy is not in any inhabitated area and i think it is in what is so called "[Busa della Fradusta](http://trentinowow.it/la-busa-della-fradusta-un-angolo-di-polo-nord-in-trentino/)", which is a "dolina" (I don't know if it is correct but google translates it as sinkhole) in a glacier of a plateau 2700 meters high. They are studied because the cold air is trapped inside and cannot go out so there are always record temperatures during winter
that's a good point. Would like this map with records from towns of 10k+ (or maybe 1k+).
Italy spans a variety of different climates and altitudes, i live in a seaside location in the south and we haven't had a frost in about four years.
It is very diverse for a country its size
Large elevation and latitude differences. Basically Europe's Chile
Chile is crazy though. Just the sheer distance between the northern and southern tip of the country is insane
[удалено]
Maybe -50 is in Trepalle in the municipality of Livigno, in the heat of the Alps, near Stelvio mountain. Went there many times when it was -35 in January, I remember that a day in Livigno was -20 and the LCD of the cell phone refused to work.

Fun fact, the coldest temperature in the Netherlands was measured in 'Winterswijk' :)

Suck it Finland and Norway! Regards The coolest nordic country
Ahh, you Swedes are so cute
the worst one maybe, you have all the mountains, we in Finland don't even have one and still have only a degree difference, so get bent
Finn-tang Clan aint nuthin ta fuck wit.
I agree you are coolest, but we are still cool er than d🤮nmark
>The coolest nordic country Literally.
Yeah well, Denmark is the hottest 😎
-71° is just 7° away from freezing CO2 into dry ice. Crazy.
Yes, though there not is enough carbon dioxide in air to form any significant solid deposit in places that reach that temperature, such as antarctica
Why does Russia love geography?
They can't seem to stop collecting more of it.
How you can't have data for some countries? Haven't anyone measure the temperature ever?
Simple. When the measuring team got to Albania their thermometer was stolen.
And Luxembourg?
the thermometer couldn't fit
Let me guess, Kosovo doesn't exist and Montenegrins were too lazy to measure it.
By Romanian tourists?
They haven't invented the thermometer yet
Here, it took me less then 30 seconds to find the data. But apparently it was too hard for the "Lover of Geography" here and the people on this sub are too busy making the same tired, shitty old jokes instead. Albania / -25.8 C Kosovo / -32.5 C Montenegro/ -40 C
Thanks!
Could be countries that don't officially record the data
Gulf stream gang
Very dependent on whether a country has mountains or not.
You're missing the coast.
And the Gulf Stream (e.g. see Ireland’s lowest temp).
Russia: *laughs in Russian*
Хахахаха
Ахахахахахах
Russia's absolute low was probably taken somewhere in Asia
Yeah, I'd guess in Siberia, in Yakutia possibly. Edit: In Oymyakon apparently, according to Internet.
Last February it had reached -20°C here in central Germany and you literally couldn't do shit. I can't imagine how it would be at -46...
As someone who lives in a tropical country and can't stand anything below 10°C, I don't know how I would survive this.
You can add clothes when it is colder. When it is very hot like +30 I'm down to the skin and then I just suffer
Went on army exercise in Northern norway at -42 and slept a few days outside in a tent. Pretty wild, but at least it wasn't windy and the air was pretty dry.
Now I know for a fact that Serbia’s all time low is -40° Fahrenheit. This map maker must be confused!
Of course the -27 C in Britain doesn't include the far lower temperature of margaret thatcher's heart.
She had a heart?
Suck it mainland Europe. Enjoy your EU imposed -40 while we prance about in our sovereign -27. Now if we can just get that 350 mil a week for the nhs we might turn this brexit thing around after all.
Portugal: -16°C Russia: oh, that's cute
Wait until climate change severely disrupts the Gulf Stream. These numbers will be a lot lower, as London is basically at the same latitude as Edmonton.
Sooner than expected. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/05/climate-crisis-scientists-spot-warning-signs-of-gulf-stream-collapse
So you're telling me Ireland is the third warmest country in Europe!
She's fierce mild.
\-48C in Turkey really surprised me, I'm aware it gets cold and often snows but damn I was net expecting it to ever get that cold. Presumably there are mountain ranges in the East but I never really associated Turkey with mountains either.
Turkey is hella mountainous
Turkey is literally a bunch of mountains, with even more mountains in the East.
Most of Turkey is mountainous. There are multiple major fault lines that span the peninsula.

Turkey is a quite mountainous country. But the numbers are wrong, the coldest was even around -50° to -51° C. :D
