  1. ^ This is the lowest reliable temperature recorded in an main station (La Paulina Farm) near an inhabited town in Argentina. Lower unconfirmed temperatures, recorded under dubious conditions, were recorded at Cona Niyeu , Rio Negro Province with -36.2C and in mines at very high elevations in the Andes like the -44C at Veladero, a mine in the Andine region,in July 2004 and the -42C at the ghost village of Matambre, in Catamarca province at over 4600m asl.Also Valle de Los Patos Superior during a period of few years , has recorded a lowest temperture of -39.0C on 17 July 1972,sometimes reported as the lowest temperature ever recorded in Argentina.The location in that valley has also some scattered population. The -43C claimed at the village of El Cain,Rio Negro province on 1 August 2006 is a wrong data. The town of Maquinchao Río Negro Province recorded -35.3C on 14 July 1991 but it appears the readings for few days at that station were unreliable. -34.0C is claimed at Sarmiento in July 1950 as the lowest temperature ever recorded at low elevation in Argentina,but this was probably recorded at the village of El Pasto instead. The -33C also claimed at Sarmiento in 1907 is very dubious. More reliable but unofficial records includes -30.0C at Las Bayas (Rio Negro province).
  2. ^ Francisco de Aparicio, Horacio A. Difrieri. Old temperatures recorded at Rivadavia of 48.9C, Villa de Maria Rio Seco of 49.1C and other places were taken with not proper instruments. Unofficial and dubious higher records like the 48.5C at Coronel Juan Sola' (Morillo) (Salta province) and 47.8C at Ingeniero Juarez (Formosa province) were recorded on 16 October 2014.
  3. ^ An old 19C was possibly also recorded in the capital Oranjestad.

  5. ^ Temperatures around -30C have also been reported in the Laguna Colorada (Colorada Lake), but there have been years with very unreliable figures like the period 1991 to 1993 when the temperature reached values as low as -35C (September 1992) but the data is clearly underestimated.
  6. ^ Boletines Climatológicos, Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología (SENAMHI). Retrieved 18 June 2007. 47C was also recorded at the same location on 2 November 1992, but it appears too high compared to nearest stations. Higher temperatures at Villamontes between 1920 and 1953 were recorded under not proper exposure conditions.47.0C was also recorded at Bermejo in October 1975, but this reading is also dubious.

  8. ^ Temperatures as low as 16.4°C reported from Kralendijk between 1962 and 1972 are probably unreliable.
  9. ^ Temperatures of 36.7C in August and September 1998 and other data above 36C are all wrong synops data,possibly transmission errors.
  10. ^ Sibéria brasileira no sul do Brasil, Serra Catarinense. Retrieved 23 February 2007.
  11. ^ An unofficial and dubious reading of -17.8C has been reported on the top of the Morro da Igreja on June 29th,1996, but the temperature is probably unreliable.-17C has also been reported at Sao Jose dos Ausentes and this reading also is unofficial and questioned.

  13. ^ Higher readings like 44.9C at Nova Maringa in 2020,44.8C at Aracuai in 2023 and at Bom Jesus do Piauí in 2005 are not reliable. 44.8C was also recorded in late XIX century at the Fazenda Descalvados, in the Pantanal region.

  15. ^ An unofficial lowest temperature of -40C was recorded on the same day at the nearby location of Puesto Viejo. -37C was also recorded at high elevation at 3600m asl at the village of Ollague , near the border with Bolivia ,in 1962,although this reading might be considered unofficial because in 1962 the station data was not stored in the observations book.Lowest temperature recorded in the Easter Island is 7.2C at Mataveri Airport on 29 July 1997.
  16. ^ This temperature,alongside similar temperatures recorded in the area ,might have been affected by overheated air caused by bushfires. A more reliable temperature on the same day would be 42.3C at Longavi Sur. Highest temperature recorded in the Easter Island is 31.0C recorded at Hanga Roa on 15 February 1912,19 February 1938 and 24 January 1942.
  17. ^ Date is believed to be correct.
  18. ^ There are dubious readings equal or higher this reliable record: 43.0C at Manati in April 1992,42.6C at El Carmen de Bolivar also in April 1992, 42.6C at El Salado,Cienaga de Oro in February 1998 and 42.6C also at Bosconia. Other readigs like 43.0C at Puerto Salgar in May 2002,44.0C at Jerusalen in 2019 and 44.2C at Anchique,Natagaima in 2015 are unreliable.
  19. ^ NOAA Rescue Data. This reading was recorded in the town district of Cas Chiquito. 18.9C was also recorded in the secundary station of Sumbu on 12 December 2017. A lowest temperature of 19.0C is also claimed to have been reached at the Hato International Airport, although it has not been confirmed by Meteo Netherlands Antilles. A lowest temperature of 17.0C recorded at Fort Nassau,Willemestad on March 9th,1933 is not fully reliable and it has been discharged by the meteorological authorities.16.1C at the Smithsonian Station in January 1961 is wrong.

  21. ^ This is the confirmed lowest temperature recorded in a inhabited place, but colder temperatures have been reported in remote areas , some of them might have a very small population. -14.2°C has been reported from high elevation at El Refugio de Cotopaxi and -15C on the top of Chimborazo Volcano. A temperature of -10.5C at Olmedo Pichincha in June 1997 is unreliable.
  22. ^ A temperature of 39.8C was recorded in April 1963 in the central coastal plains and this is claimed to be the highest temperature ever recorded in Ecuador. Nevertheless, no specific location is given and the Ecuadorian Meteorological Service doesn't have that data in their archive. 39.5C was also supposedly recorded in the Peninsula de Santa Elena. Also, 39.4C was claimed at Chone and 39.0C at Santa Cecilia and Portoviejo. None of these temperatures are reliable. Another temperature of 39.9C recorded at San Lorenzo was recorded with faulty instruments.
  23. ^ A temperature of 39.5C at the same location in January 2011 is believed to be incorrect.
