Earth's poles are undergoing simultaneous freakish extreme heat with parts of Antarctica more than 70 degrees (40 degrees Celsius) warmer than average and areas of the Arctic more than 50 degrees (30 degrees Celsius) warmer than average.
Weather stations in Antarctica shattered records Friday as the region neared autumn. The two-mile high Concordia station was at 10,which is about 70 degrees warmer than average, while the even higher Vostok station hit a shade above 0 degrees , beating its all-time record by about 27 degrees , according to a tweet from extreme weather record tracker Maximiliano Herrera.
Lazzara monitors temperatures at East Antarctica's Dome C-ii and logged 14 degrees Friday, where the normal is -45 degrees :"That's a temperature that you should see in January, not March. January is summer there. That's dramatic." By comparison, the world as a whole was only 1.1 degrees above the 1979 to 2000 average. Globally the 1979 to 2000 average is about half a degree warmer than the 20th century average.
