Antarctic Climate

Antarctic Climate

In Antarctica the climate is very different compared to other continents. It is much colder, windier and drier than other continents.

The temperature in Antarctica is very cold compared to other continents. The average winter temperature is -60 Degrees Celsius and the average summer temperature is -27 Degrees Celsius. The coldest temperature ever recorded was -88 Degrees Celsius.

The wind in Antarctica is very strong compared to other continents. The average wind speed in Antarctica is 300km per hr. It can shape the ice depending on the speed and strength of the wind. Antarctica is the driest continent in the world.

Climate Change is taking a large toll on Antarctica because of all the pollution in the air. There is a big hole in the Ozone Layer in the earth’s atmosphere. The temperature is rising and is causing the ice and snow to melt.

Scientists in Antarctica use different technology to find out the weather and temperature in Antarctica. Scientists use weather balloons to find out the weather and they use Negative thermometers to find out the temperature.

The Antarctic climate is very different compared to any other continent on earth because Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest place on earth. We also need to protect Antarctica from Climate Change.
