Winter in the Northern Hemisphere showed up this year.
Three of the coldest locations in the Northern Hemisphere pushed it to a new level this winter, with one spot in Greenland dropping to about as cold as it gets.
Here in Canada, the community of Braeburn, Yukon, saw readings fall to -55.7°C on Dec. 23, 2025, marking the country’s coldest temperature since 1999.
Two days later, temperatures fell to -58.8°C in Delyankir, Russia, in the midst of a stretch when readings failed to rise above -50°C for more than three days.
While Siberia and the Canadian Arctic have dabbled with the -50s a few more times since the start of the new year, Greenland just took it to a whole new level.
