Warm January in Europe

On January 1st, 2023, Europe experienced a record-breaking high temperature, with some countries reaching temperatures that were significantly above the average for this time of year. This extreme weather event was likely influenced by climate change, as rising global temperatures have led to more frequent and intense heatwaves in many parts of the world.

Coldest Place on Earth

In 2018, record cold temperature was registered at -98.6 °C. This happened in the eastern part of the Queen Maud Land in Antarctica. Several cracks from 2 to 4 meters deep are located there accumulating icy air. If you breathe at this temperature it may easily provoke rather serious burns.

What is Mirage?

What is a mirage and where does it come from? Mirage is undoubtedly one of the most mysterious atmospheric phenomena that has always been associated with secrets and legends. But in reality, the mirage is easily explained from a scientific point of view. It appears when the air near a highly heated surface (about 60-70 °C) also heats up and becomes inhomogeneous.
