Shocking temperature difference in one day... 125 degrees Celsius temperature difference between the two sides of the Earth

Arab Weather - As the northern hemisphere experiences a scorching summer and heat waves in some areas, Iran recorded the highest temperature on Earth in the last 24 hours, at 51 degrees Celsius. Several Arab countries were among the top 10 hottest countries, with Kuwait hitting 50 degrees Celsius and Iraq hitting 49.8 degrees Celsius.

While the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the height of summer, the Antarctic region is currently experiencing the height of winter. Low-pressure systems and snowstorms are active in many regions, bringing low temperatures and extremely cold weather, with record low temperatures.

125 degrees Celsius away from Iran, Antarctica records minus 74.8 degrees Celsius.

In the last 24 hours, Antarctica recorded a record low temperature of -74.8 degrees Celsius, a massive 125 degrees Celsius cooler than the highest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is not a rare occurrence. Record-low temperatures are common in the Antarctic, given its geographic location at the southernmost point on Earth, far from the equator. Solar radiation is minimal, especially in winter. Most of the continent's land mass lies on a high glacial plateau, with an average elevation of over 2,500 meters. Some areas, such as the Vostok station, reach elevations of over 3,400 meters.

The dense ice cover also reflects most of the sun's rays, preventing heat absorption. There is little water vapor and cloud cover, so the air over the continent is very dry. On clear nights, the land loses heat very quickly by radiation, leading to a sharp drop in surface temperature. During the southern winter, the sun is absent for several months, allowing temperatures to drop continuously without stopping.

On the contrary, it is considered normal during the summer to record very high temperatures in the fifties in the northern hemisphere.
