Temperatures around the Earth can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as geography, climate, time of day, and season.
At any given moment, temperatures can vary by hundreds of degrees Celsius between the hottest and coldest places on Earth. The coldest place on Earth is Antarctica, where temperatures can drop as low as -90°C (-130°F) in the winter. In contrast, the hottest place on Earth is the Lut Desert in Iran, where temperatures have reached up to 71°C (160°F) in the summer.
Additionally, temperature differences can also be observed between regions with different climate zones. For example, the temperature difference between the equator and the poles can be quite significant, with temperatures in tropical regions typically staying warm year-round while polar regions experience extreme cold during the winter months.
Overall, the temperature differences around the Earth can be quite large and vary depending on a wide range of factors.

The temperature range between the Earth’s poles is drastic due to a combination of factors, including the tilt of the Earth’s axis, the distribution of sunlight, and the circulation of ocean currents and air masses.
One of the main reasons for the temperature difference is that the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This means that the poles receive sunlight at a very oblique angle, resulting in less intense solar radiation and cooler temperatures.
Additionally, the distribution of sunlight is uneven due to the Earth’s rotation and the presence of the atmosphere, which causes some areas to receive more or less sunlight than others. The poles receive very little direct sunlight during the winter months, which leads to prolonged periods of darkness and extreme cold.
Finally, the circulation of ocean currents and air masses plays a significant role in the temperature differences between the poles. The ocean currents near the poles are cold and dense, which causes them to sink and flow towards the equator, while warm currents from the equator flow towards the poles. Similarly, cold air masses from the poles move towards the equator, while warm air masses from the equator move towards the poles.
All of these factors combine to create a drastic temperature range between the Earth’s poles, with the Arctic and Antarctic experiencing some of the coldest temperatures on the planet.
The weather surrounding our planet is in constant change. We are recording the extreme world temperatures hourly. This page presents the locations ( for which we receive data ) that made it into the hottest and coldest locations. The temperatures displayed are for one or more hours per the indicated location during the last 7 days. Hottest at the top of the list, Coldest at the bottom.

The present tilt of the Earth affects where the sun becomes overhead: The Earth is tilted on its axis, which means that during the Northern Hemisphere summer, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun. This means that the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight between March 21 and Sept 21. The opposing time of Sept 22 through March 21 had the sun over the southern hemisphere.
