The thermometer marked -62ºC in the coldest town in the world and the photos were shocking
Do you think it’s cold in your city? that’s because you still don’t know Oymyakon, a town where the temperatures are -50ºC. This lost town in Siberia is the coldest inhabited place on the planet which, just over two years ago, reached a record of -62ºC. How about?
Although its inhabitants are used to low temperatures, those days reached a limit in which people’s eyebrows have frozen. The temperature dropped so much, down to -62ºC, at which point the official thermometer at the weather station broke and stopped working, even many locals claim that temperatures continued to drop to -68ºC.
The only similar record is from 1933, where the thermometers reached -67.7ºC, the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere. That being said, you cannot miss the following gallery about daily life in the coldest place in the world. plant:
