Temperatures around the world vary greatly depending on latitude, altitude, season, proximity to oceans, and local climate patterns. Here’s an overview of typical temperature patterns during different seasons in various regions:

Winter (December – February in Northern Hemisphere, June – August in Southern Hemisphere)

Arctic and Antarctic regions:

Extremely cold, with temperatures often below -30°C (-22°F) or lower in Antarctica, especially inland. The Arctic is slightly warmer but still frigid, particularly during the polar night.

North America:

Temperatures in northern Canada and Alaska can drop below -20°C (-4°F), while the southern U.S. may range from -5°C to 15°C (23°F to 59°F).

Europe:

Winters are milder in Western Europe due to the Gulf Stream, with temperatures around 0°C to 10°C (32°F to 50°F), though Eastern Europe and Russia often face harsher cold, reaching -10°C (-14°F) or lower.

Asia:

Northern Asia and Siberia experience extremely cold temperatures, often below -30°C (-22°F). Japan and parts of Southeast Asia see milder winters, typically between 5°C and 20°C (41°F to 68°F).

Southern Hemisphere (Australia, Southern Africa, South America):

Milder winter, as these regions don’t reach Arctic-like temperatures.

Australia and New Zealand:

Coastal areas rarely drop below 0°C (32°F), though mountainous regions can experience snow and freezing temperatures.

South America (e.g., Argentina, Chile):

Coastal regions are mild, but the Andes experience colder conditions, with high-altitude areas dropping below 0°C (32°F).

Spring (March – May in Northern Hemisphere, September – November in Southern Hemisphere)

Northern Hemisphere continents:

Temperatures gradually warm.

North America:

Ranges from -5°C to 20°C (23°F to 68°F) in northern areas and from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F) further south.

Europe:

Western Europe enjoys mild temperatures from 5°C to 20°C (41°F to 68°F), while Eastern Europe and Russia remain cooler until late spring.

Asia:

China, Japan, and India begin warming up, with temperatures from 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) depending on latitude.

Southern Hemisphere:

Australia and New Zealand:

Spring brings temperatures from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F), ideal for outdoor activities.

South America:

Southern countries, such as Argentina, experience a mix of mild and warm temperatures, usually ranging between 10°C and 25°C (50°F to 77°F).

Summer (June – August in Northern Hemisphere, December – February in Southern Hemisphere)

Northern Hemisphere:

North America:

Hot temperatures in the U.S., especially in the South and Midwest, where they can reach 30°C to 40°C (86°F to 104°F). Canada’s northern regions stay cooler but can still reach 25°C (77°F) in some areas.

Europe:

Warm temperatures across much of the continent, from 20°C to 35°C (68°F to 95°F). The Mediterranean region is typically hot, with temperatures around 30°C to 40°C (86°F to 104°F).

Asia:

Heatwaves are common, especially in South Asia (India, Pakistan), with temperatures reaching up to 45°C (113°F) in some places. East Asia, including Japan and China, experiences hot, humid summers, with temperatures from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F).

Southern Hemisphere:

Australia:

Hot temperatures, especially inland, with many areas reaching 30°C to 45°C (86°F to 113°F). Coastal regions tend to be cooler due to sea breezes.

South America:

Argentina and Brazil experience warm to hot temperatures, particularly in tropical areas, where temperatures range from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F).

Autumn (September – November in Northern Hemisphere, March – May in Southern Hemisphere)

Northern Hemisphere:

North America:

Gradual cooling, with northern regions experiencing temperatures from 0°C to 15°C (32°F to 59°F) by November, and southern areas remaining warmer, 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F).

Europe:

Mild to cool temperatures, typically ranging from 5°C to 20°C (41°F to 68°F), with cooler conditions setting in by November.

Asia:

Cooling across East Asia, with temperatures in China and Japan from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F). Monsoon season ends in South Asia, bringing drier and more comfortable temperatures.

Southern Hemisphere:

Australia and New Zealand:

Temperatures moderate, usually ranging from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F).

South America:

Argentina and Chile experience cooling, with temperatures between 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), while northern tropical regions remain warm.

These general patterns can shift significantly based on regional geography and climate zones, such as monsoon impacts in Asia, tropical climates near the equator, and oceanic climates near coastal areas.
