Hats[edit]

I am doing this service project thing. My plan is to make as many hats as possible, then send it to some poor country. This is the first place that I have found that says that any place other than Antartica is the coldest place on Earth, so I intend to send my hats here. I would like to have input on this matter.

Better make them warm hats. The winter high temperatures are -50C

What's the shipping rate on something like this? ;) - Novart

It's a wonderfull thought, but keep in mind that any clothes that they have are probably much more practical for keeping them warm than anything that you will send them. I think they'll be happy to wear them in the slightly warmer spring/fall temperatures, though. Summer, I hear, can be pretty hot sometimes - the temperature can flunctuate by as much as 90 degrees Celcius on extreme years. Esn 07:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


The place is mentioned on the RT (TV network) weather slot.

Why would anyone want to live there? Jackiespeel (talk) 18:43, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Climate data[edit]

The data in the climate table is from a cited source. Please do not change the data without citing the source for your information. --Stepheng3 (talk) 21:06, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article is currently factually inconsistent. None of the record lows in the climate table match the record low that makes the town famous from the description above. At least one should match. 75.84.184.44 (talk) 01:57, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The two record low temperatures (-65.4 and −67.7) come to us from different sources. The WMO site explains that old thermometer readings needed to be adjusted for evaporation, not a simple matter. So it is scarcely surprising that different sources disagree. Also, it's not clear whether the records of Погода и Климат cover a time period that includes 6 February 1933. Perhaps someone who reads Russian could investigate these issues. --Stepheng3 (talk) 21:24, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't read Russian, but it's pretty clear that the Погода и Климат records only go back to about 1943. They have daily records here [1], where the records are displayed on the right-hand side of the page with a toggle button for highs/lows. There's a box at the bottom of the page to select different months of the year; going through all the months shows many records from 1943 onwards, but none before. So the Погода и Климат records would not include the 1933 temperature. I've included a hidden comment to that effect. Dendrite1 (talk) 02:08, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]


I have found that NOAA claims the lowest temperature measured is -90F (-68C) on Feb 6, 1933 Here is the reference. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalextremes.html#lowtemp

Your source (the NOAA page) agrees with article text (which cites an ASU page).--Stepheng3 (talk) 23:35, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


How can the ground be permanently frozen if the average daily low is above zero for three months of the year? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.79.253 (talk) 10:38, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like most areas with permafrost, there's an active layer near the surface that thaws in the summer, but the heat does not penetrate far underground. The ground beneath the active layer (probably 1-2m underground here) is still continuously frozen. Dendrite1 (talk) 02:17, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Köppen climate formula[edit]

Oymyakon does not meet the criteria for a second-letter "w" (dry winter) climate, as the driest winter month (January, 6 mm) receives still more than one tenth of the precipitation of the wettest summer month (July, 45 mm) - so I changed the formula to Dfd!--Yadgar (talk) 21:23, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • This keeps getting reverted to Dwd. We have pointed out why it does not qualify as Dwd, it is Dfd. Are we supposed to start an edit war?24.108.58.49 (talk) 05:39, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
