An unofficial temperature of -77.5C was recorded in the canadian Mt logan (2nd highest mountain in north America) on May 26th 1991. If such an astounding figure can be recorded during late spring and early summer, surely this location has the potential not just to be the coldest in the northern hemisphere but even the world. We should be installing official weather stations there quickly (although I recon we will see a new record sooner or later with Dome A in antartica, its already clocked -83C and its only been operating since 2005.)

There was me thinking this was going to be a thread about Folkestone.

But being serious now, I would think Vostok, at Antarctica, is the world's coldest place with something like -89 C on the 29th June '83. After all, as anyone would know, it is deep winter over there right know (that's me pointing the obvious). I think it's height (3,000 ft ASL) as well as being land locked are contributing factors. But all of this is said out of memory.
Not sure how cold it could get over the northern hemisphere in the summer, though. I do know of a website that lists every possible weather stations there are around the world so I'll put the link to that in here tomorrow (I'm typing this on the iPad as the main computer is turned off for the night).

There you go, as promised last night: http://www.southendweather.net/european.htm . . . Knock yourself out.

PS: Yes, it's that basic looking, click on the tabs and a drop down list appears and then click on any of the days and it'll show you data from just about every weather station there is in the world (and to make that task easier, it'll show the max and min extremes at the top).
   However, it only stores data up to a month and then resets itself in the next month (hence why I've been saving it all onto my PC on a daily basis since 2003!).

PPS: Ignore the "website cannot be found" bit, that's normal.

Interesting topic - one of the coldest if not very close to the coldest place in the Northern hemisphere has to be the Kolyma Valley in north eastern Siberia.


Amazing geography this place has.
