New All-Time Record Low Temperature For Greenland Set Last Month

Did you see that on the news? No? Neither did I.

A month ago, it was reported that a record low temperature for Greenland had been provisionally set on 2nd January:


Summit Camp, also known as Summit Station, is a year-round research station on the apex of the Greenland Ice Sheet. It is located some 10,500 ft (3,200 m) above sea level, and it’s data is often cited by climate alarmists claiming “Greenland Is Melting Away Before Our Very Eyes” and other such nonsense…

Adding to the list of temperature measurements those alarmists will likely ignore –or won’t even get to hear about given the mainstream media’s warm-bias– is Summit Camp’s preliminary low of -86.8F (-66C) set at 11:13 PM on January 02, 2020.



The reading, once confirmed by the DMI, will enter the books as Greenland’s coldest-ever recorded temperature–not only at Summit Camp, and not only in January, but of anywhere across the island, and of any month of the year.

Table of the old Summit Camp temp records (all-time low record smashed on Jan 02, 2020).



Somehow, in what we’re to believe is a linearly warming world, Greenland –the poster boy for global warming– is currently the coldest we’ve ever known it to be.

Furthermore, the Camp’s measurement isn’t far off the lowest ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere — that title remains with Oymyakon, Russia, and it’s 1933 observation of −89.9F (−67.7C).

To the best of my knowledge, this fact has not been reported in the MSM, nor by the official agencies, such as NOAA, DMI, NSIDC or the UK Met Office, as would quickly have happened if it had been a record high.

Neither has the temperature measurement even been officially confirmed.

I have therefore contacted DMI (Danish Meteorological Institute), who have ultimate responsibility for Greenland, and received this reply from John Cappelen:


 I have now had the opportunity to go through the American observations from NOAA GeoSummit from January 2, 2020 . I have at NOAA’s wab-site found January 2020 ftp data up to January 15, 2020.

January 2, 2020 was a cold day at SUMMIT and 23:13 utc the temperature had a minimum -64,9C…the same temperature was registered 23:15 and also 23:16 utc….data looks all right….I have attached 60 minute-observations of temperature in degrees celsius from GeoSummit NOAA (SUM)  January, 2, 2020 23:00-23:59 utc

As you can see NOAA GeoSummit measure the lowest temperature -64.9C January 2, 2020. I do not know if that a record breaking temperature at NOAA Geosummit. You have to ask NOAA about that?
At DMI Summit…now closed…the lowest temperature measured during the time the station was alive was -63.3C  on February, 21, 2002…but have in mind that DMI Summit only measured every 3 hours and that no min and max temperatures exist from that station.
I cannot see -66C as you mention in the GeoSummit NOAA data?

Although the DMI equipment has now been closed, it was at the same location as the Geo Summit, so readings should be comparable.

Quite clearly then, a new record low has been set for both Summit and Greenland. Whether it is –64.9C, as stated by John Cappelen, or the graphic reading from Electroverse remains a mystery.

Nevertheless, we await the new record to be officially declared by NOAA, and reported in the world’s press!
