The lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is -89.2 ° C (-128.6 ° F), at the Soviet Vostok station in Antarctica in July 1983! However, recent satellite data from Eastern Antarctica shows that in August 2010 the temperature dropped to -94.7C (-135.8F), but this temperature was calculated by satellites rather than directly with a thermometer, so it may not be accurate.
