Which country has the greatest difference between its highest and lowest temperatures?
The greatest recorded temperature ranges in the world are around the Siberian `cold pole’ in the east of Russia.
On which day’s did the largest difference between the high and low temperatures occur?
The largest recorded temperature change in one place over a 24-hour period occurred on January 15, 1972 in Loma, Montana, when the temperature rose from −54 to 49 °F (−47.8 to 9.4 °C) .
Where is temperature variation the greatest?
Diurnal temperature variations are greatest very near Earth’s surface. The Tibetan and Andean Plateaus present one of the largest differences in daily temperature on the planet. High desert regions typically have the greatest diurnal-temperature variations, while low-lying humid areas typically have the least.

Which country has the greatest variation in climate?
Due to its size, China inevitably holds an enormous climate diversity. Just like the United States and Russia, the pure size of China makes it one of the world’s most diverse, both in terms of culture and in climate. Stretching over all four climate zones, China certainly tops the list on climate diversity.
What locations on Earth have the greatest changes in temperature and precipitation?
The Northeast, the West, and Alaska have seen temperatures increase the most, while some parts of the Southeast have experienced little change (Exhibits 3 and 4).
What is the largest temperature difference in one day?
The greatest temperature change in 24 hours occurred in Loma on January 15, 1972. The temperature rose exactly 103 degrees, from -54 degrees Fahrenheit to 49 degrees. This is the world record for a 24—hour temperature change.
