South Pole Below -100F; North Atlantic Cools As Pacific Heats; + The 3,560-Year Cold Cycle?
The public has been trained to fear warmth. History shows cold does the real damage. And the signals are starting to turn.
South Pole Below -100F
While mainstream headlines highlight western Antarctic sea-ice loss, often with little space for the volcanoes sitting below or the ice gains most everywhere else, the continent is currently posting some brutally cold readings.
On June 16, Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station fell to -73.6C (-100.5F). The daily maximum reached only -69.9C (-93.8F).
This made for the South Pole’s first sub -70C (-94F) reading since September 3, 2023, when the station logged -72.3C (-98.1F).
Other Antarctic stations were also in the freezer on June 16.
