Weather extremes Lores Steury, Goshen weather observer, gives us a look at some of the weather extremes of the world, possibly to take our minds off our own weather extremes. The lowest temperature recorded in the US was a -66 degrees on February 9, 1933, in Yellowstone, Wyo. Before Alaska was a state, they recorded a temperature of -78 degrees on January 14, 1934. Feeling warmer? The' coldest world temperature was recorded, where else but in Siberia, on February 5,1892, when they had -90 degrees. The highest US temperature was 134 degrees on July 10, 1913, in Death Valley, Calif., with the highest in the world only a few degrees higher at 136 degrees in North Africa on September 13,1922. Eritrea, Africa, holds the record for the wannest average yearly temperature, 86 degrees, keeping in mind that our average yearly temperature is only 49.4 degrees. Coldest average yearly temperature is -14 in Antarctic. Total snowfall last December 1 through January 13, 1983, was 1.9 inches compared to this season’s 23.7 inches for the same time span.
