The coldest place in the world is in Antarctica, with an average annual temperature below -25 °C, an absolute minimum temperature of -88.3 °C, and a record of -94.5 °C. This is due to the high latitudes there, and it is a frozen continent, and at the same time the most stormy region in the world.
In addition, on the inhabited continent, the coldest place in the world can be regarded as the Vilkhoyonsk and Oymyakon regions of Eastern Siberia, Russia. The average annual temperatures in the Verkhyansk and Oymyakon regions are around -15 °C, and in winter 3 months below -40 °C. The absolute minimum temperature in Verkhoyonsk was -68 °C (1892), and the Oymyakon was lower -78 °C (1933). The reason why the Vio region is particularly cold is determined by latitude and terrain. It is located at a high latitude, through which the Arctic Circle passes, and the warm sea breeze cannot blow at all, especially the eastern, western and southern sides of this region are surrounded by the Chelski Mountains and the Vilkhoyonsk Mountains, only the north faces the Arctic Ocean, and these two places are in the valley, so the warm air from the south is blocked out, while the cold air from the north can drive straight and stagnate in the valley. Originally, due to the lack of solar radiation, the temperature here is already very low, coupled with the cold air cheering, it is really snow to send "ice" to make it more cold here.
The hottest place in the world is In Massawa, Ethiopia, Africa. Massawa is on the Red Sea, with an average temperature of around 26 °C in January, an average of 35 °C in July and an average temperature of 30.2 °C throughout the year. It can be seen that the monthly high temperature here is unbearable, and almost every day is midsummer. Why is it so hot? Although it is on the seashore, but the Red Sea is a very hot sea, and the main wind direction here throughout the year is the northeast wind, the trade wind blowing from the hot and dry Arabian desert swept past, Masawa City is less than 10 meters above sea level, the northeast trade wind only strengthens the heat here, and rarely rains, only more than 180 mm of precipitation throughout the year, which does not reduce the role of extreme heat, and dry and hot has become the characteristic of Massawa City.
As for the place where the absolute highest temperature in the world occurs, it is in Somalia, Africa. Temperatures measured in the shadows there were as high as 63 °C. It is said that in the Sahara Desert in Africa, the temperature is higher, and the eggs will cook when buried in the sand, but this is caused by the temperature of the sand and not the temperature!
