What the numbers say

  • Montreal, Canada leads at -11.25 °C.
  • Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland sits at the other end with -1.41 °C.
  • The middle of this ranking is -3.08 °C, across 30 places that publish the metric.
  • The spread between first and last is 9.84 °C.

What this measures

Every row is a published january mean temperature (modelled) observation measured in °C, ranked lowest first. The values were observed in 2001. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
