Coldest Average Temperature
Understand coldest average temperature: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
A country's average temperature combines places and seasons that may feel very different. Large deserts, mountains and coastlines can pull a national average in different directions. A climate average also needs a baseline period: it should not be confused with the temperature in a single unusual year. National averages conceal the conditions experienced in individual cities.
