Antarctica records Earth's coldest reading in years at Concordia
TL;DR
Antarctica’s Concordia research station logged −84.1°C (−119.4°F) on July 18, the coldest temperature recorded anywhere on Earth in years, underscoring the extreme cold that can occur even as global warming advances and Antarctic conditions remain highly variable; the record fits into a pattern of unusually cold spells at Concordia and the potential for even lower readings in East Antarctica, illustrating that one extreme cold event does not negate broader climate trends.
