Many of us find the winter and snowy weather exciting. But there are countries wherein the cold weather is drastic and is very unbearable. These are countries that have cold and snowy weather during the summer. Below are the top 10 coldest countries in the world.
1. Antarctica
This is dubbed as the coldest continent in Earth. The lowest temperature recorded that ever hit Antarctica is minus 89.2 degrees. Truly, no person can live there due to the extreme temperature, the dryness of the landforms and also the danger that too much precipitation can bring.
2. Russia
The country generally experiences windy weather because on average, it has a very low temperature all throughout the year. In the first few months, the minimum temperature is minus 27 degrees and it can go as high as minus 8 degrees. Even during the summer, the weather is still cold having an average of minus 3 degrees.
3. Canada
Though the regions in the area may have different ranges of temperatures, the country is generally cold. The coldest part may be the Prairie Provinces where temperature can reach to minus 15 degrees during the day and minus 39 degrees at night.

4. United States of America
The coldest place in America is in Alaska where low temperatures would take place for nine months or so. The lowest that the temperature can reach is minus 62.2 degrees. With the addition of strong winds, it is definitely hazardous for people who are exposed in this kind of weather.
5. Greenland
The country has a very low range of temperature. The lowest can be minus 9 degrees and the highest temperature can reach 7 degrees. This happens even during the hot season.
