203 Degree Difference: Death Valley CA/Vostok Antarctica

[Saul Trabal]

It's time for measuring temperature extremes again.

According to Weather Underground....

Death Valley California is currently 117 degrees.

At Vostok Antarctica, it's -86 degrees.

That makes a 203 degree difference!!

Residents at the south pole regularly take part in what's called the 300 club. They will go outside in -100 temps and run back into a +200 sauna.

I'm not making this up either, they do it for fun.

Yes, I remember a post on this board about that. It was in this section, I think.

It's -98 degrees now at Vostok. This week, temperatures at night will fall below -100 degrees. Tuesday and Wednesday will have -103 degrees for a low.

I just checked-

At Death Valley California, it's now 97 degrees.

That's a 195 degree difference!
