Antarctica’s average annual temperature ranges from about −10°C on the coast to −60°C at the highest parts of the interior. Near the coast, the temperature can exceed +10°C in summer and fall to below −40°C in winter. Over the elevated inland, it can rise to about −30°C in summer but fall below −80°C in winter. The lowest temperature ever recorded ...
Antarctica’s environment has special conditions that make it the windiest continent on Earth. Antarctica is usually surrounded by a belt of low pressure which contains multiple low centres. This is called the ‘circumpolar trough’. But the interior of the continent is dominated by high pressure. These conditions set the scene for the formation of ka...
The dry, subsiding air over the interior of Antarctica creates little cloud. Around the coast however, more moisture is available and low-pressure systems have a greater influence. This means that cloudy conditions more common near the coast, particularly on the Antarctic Peninsula. Rain is observed near the coast, but most precipitation over Antar...
Loose snow can be picked up and carried along by the wind. When the snow is still below eye level, this is called drifting snow. When it is raised above eye level, it is called blowing snow. Wind speeds of over 30 km/h can lead to drifting snow, while wind speeds over 60 km/h are more likely to produce blowing snow. Blowing snow can make it very ha...
When wind speeds are gale force or stronger for at least one hour, the temperature is less than 0°C and visibility is reduced to 100 m or less, it is a Blizzard. These conditions are dangerous and disruptive for outdoor activities. Sometimes blizzards last for days.
Whiteout is an optical phenomenon. Uniform light conditions can make it impossible to distinguish shadows, landmarks or the horizon. This can happen when the snow cover is unbroken and the sky is overcast. Whiteout is a serious hazard as it causes a loss of perspective and direction.
Climate of Antarctica. Surface temperature of Antarctica in winter and summer from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on Earth.
