Some of these numbers are wildly inaccurate.
A record low of 16 in Angola? Nope, it's gotten at least as low as -1 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Angola#Climate)
A record low of 18.1 in Yemen? Nope, it's gotten at least as low as -4 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Yemen#Climate)
Those numbers I found also aren't across the whole country (just specific cities), so it's possible colder temperatures have been recorded elsewhere
And those are just the two I checked
A record low of 18.1 in Yemen?
Oh man, I didn't even notice that. Yeah, it can get chilly in the Middle-East. Sooo these numbers are crap.
I was surprised by how continental (yes, queue the etymology jokes) Antarctica is, but I guess it makes sense. It doesn't get hot, but the kind of cold it gets makes 18 degrees look like 48. It's just on a totally different temperature scale.
No wonder Americans are so angry
It’s just a country that contains both Alaska and Death Valley. I kind of wish the globe had been evenly divided, so we could see what regions actually have the highest variability. The way it currently is, all the big countries with mixed climates have the highest swings, which provides no real information.
This...
I guess it's easier to find datatables by country than by geolocation.
Absolutely, that’s why I only kind of wish this was like that. It’d be a huge amount of data to process, but it would actually be useful.
It's Angola
The perfect place
The real Wakanda. They don't need such silly things as infrastructure, because indoor spaces are unnecessary when you've never even heard of weather.
(Breaking the jerk, it's been doing very well over the past couple decades but it's still a typical African country, albeit with surprisingly low temperature variability)
