\u201cOn April 29, almost minus 80 degrees were measured at the Russian Vostok<\/a> research station. Such extreme cold is rarely reached this early in the year,\u201d reported wetteronline.de.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The record, -89.3\u00b0C, was recorded in the middle of winter, on July 21, 1983, thus making the last week\u2019s late April reading very unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cValues below minus 80 degrees in April are also extremely rare at the Earth\u2019s cold pole and have only been recorded three times in the last 60 years,\u201d wetteronline.de adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
