The highest temperature
It was in the desert of Al-Azizia (Al 'Aziziyah), Libya, September 13, 1992. Forecasters in the day recorded temperature of 57.8 degrees Celsius - maskimalnuyu known long-term temperature history. The above is located near the desert of the Sahara, so it's so "warm." Interestingly, this temperature can be very high, sometimes it happens that a combination of air flow and humidity leads to short-term temperature rise to dangerous levels. One such case occurred in Iran, near the village of Abadan in 1967. Then within minutes the temperature reached 87 degrees! Since this has not been documented in the Guinness Book of Records, he has not got ...
Fastest increase of temperature
January 22, 1943 in the city of Spearfish, South Dakota, at 7.30 in the morning the temperature was equal to -20 degrees Celsius. A minute later, the wind blew strong downward that the natives called Chinook (chinook). After two minutes, the temperature rose to 27 degrees to 7 degrees Celsius. This is the fastest temperature elevation, known to meteorologists. An hour later, the temperature rose to 12 degrees and 27 minutes "returned" to the original 20 degrees. Less than half an hour the temperature dropped to 32 degrees Celsius.
The lowest temperature
Leadership in this category, as it is easy to assume belongs to Russia. Antarctic station "Vostok" is the so-called South Pole cold - one of the places where the temperature is one of the lowest in the world. The average winter temperature there is -65 degrees Celsius in the summer to -30 degrees. July 21, 1983, the thermometer showed 89.2 degrees below zero, the lowest temperature in the history of meteorology. In addition, there is always a strong wind (up to 60 km / h), the humidity is extremely low, and in the air there is a lack of oxygen. Overall, a nice place!
Most cold snap
Again going back to South Dakota, a town of Rapid City (Rapid City). In its vicinity are often blowing wind, called Chinook, and one day, January 22, 1943 the temperature dropped from 16 degrees Celsius to -11 degrees Celsius in 5 minutes! This is an absolute record, this is difficult to achieve even in the refrigerator.
The largest snowflake
January 28, 1987 an employee at the ranch Fort Keogh, Montana found a snowflake diameter of 38 centimeters. It sounds like a fairy tale, but he had witnesses and evidence, so this fact is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
The rainiest day
March 15-16, 1952 in the village of Cilaos Réunion island in the middle of 1869 millimeters of rain fell - almost 2 meters of water, which is a world record for the most rainfall per day. This island also holds the record for precipitation in 72 hours - In March 2007, the Commerson's Crater 3929 millimeters of rain fell.
The biggest snowfall
From 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999 on the mountain Mount Baker (Washington, USA) has dropped 29 meters of snow! The previous record was achieved on the mountain Mt. Rainer, which is 200 kilometers from Mount Baker. Then, for the year fell 27 meters of snow. Why this place is so fond of the snow? With a continuous flow of the Pacific are moisture-laden clouds that pass through the mountains in the given part of the moisture in the form of snow - the snow is a continuous conveyor.
The largest hailstone
June 22, 2003 through Nebraska, USA, held a strong thunderstorm with hail, followed by many local residents found in his yard large hailstones that quickly hid in the refrigerator and called 911 representatives of Guinness World Records Committee. Prominent experts have confirmed that the city of the present, and pointed to the greatest instance - its size was almost 18 centimeters in diameter. Scientists quickly calculated that the rate of fall of a hailstone about 160 kilometers per hour, and the damage that can cause such a storm could easily reach a billion dollars. The only question is where to get such a hailstone? Gradina is still kept at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, USA.
The fastest wind
May 3, 1999 in Oklahoma happened several tornadoes, methodically destroying homes across the state. At 7 pm a special perevizhnaya weather station recorded a gust of duration 3 seconds in which the movement speed reached 512 kilometers per hour. It was the first tornado, classified on the Fujita scale, the phenomenon of class F6 (F1-F6 scale shows the destructive power of tornadoes, up to this point has been reached maximum F5)
The largest group of tornadoes
Here are all the records for some reason occur in the United States, why is that? On the other hand, let them stay there - we do not need this, and the Americans wish that such records were achieved as little as possible. So, 3-4 April 1974 in 18 hours in the United States and Canada, was formed 148 tornadoes! This phenomenon has a special name - "Blast Tornado." This 24 tornadoes were categorized as a Fujita Scale F4, six of them - like F5. It destroyed everything in an area of about one and a half million square kilometers, causing damage of 3.5 billion dollars.
