The COLD TIMES are returning...

Sixth Straight Day Below -70C

On April 2, Concordia Station posted another sub -70C low — for the sixth in a row.

The same day, Vostok reported a biting -75.4C (-103.7F), which is 0.1C shy of the season record (set at Concordia on March 31).

This is an early onset of winter at the bottom of the world, and as the sun remains increasingly below the horizon for much of the day, temperatures are only going to crash lower.

Rare Spring Snow On Madeira

Snowfall blanketed Madeira’s highest peaks this morning, an unusual sight for April on the typically mild Portuguese island.
