Zitat:Extraordinary Antarctica heatwave, 70 degrees above normal, would likely set a world recordhttps://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/28/weath...index.html
(CNN) - Scientists were shocked this month when a research station in Antarctica reported extraordinarily warm weather.
The temperature at Concordia Research station atop Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau -- typically known as the coldest place on Earth -- surged to an astounding 11.3 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-11.5 Celsius) on March 18. The normal high temperature for the day is around minus-56 Fahrenheit (minus-49 Celsius), which puts the March 18 reading at close to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (around 38 Celsius) warmer than normal. [...] It "appears to have set a new World Record for the largest temperature excess above normal ... ever measured at an established weather station," Robert Rohde, the lead scientist at Berkeley Earth, tweeted Monday.
