Antarctica sets new cold weather record of –93.2 C

Newly analyzed data from East Antarctica say the remote region has set a record for soul-crushing cold.

The record is minus 135.8 Fahrenheit (minus 93.2 Celsius).

A new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit –135.8 F (–93.2 C). Then on July 31 of this year, it came close again: –135.3 F (–92.9 C).

The old record had been –128.6 F (–89.2 C).
