Scott Island Climate section and weatherbox (WIP)

For: Scott Island Scott Island has a hyperoceanic ice cap climate (Köppen climate classification EF), as registered by an automatic weather station on the island from December 1987 to March 1999.[1] The records show an average temperature of a few °C (°F) below 0 °C (32 °F) in summer, and down to −40 °C (−40 °F) in winter.[2] Summers are cold, though the extreme influence of the ocean makes temperatures very consistent. The highest temperature ever recorded was 4.8 °C (40.6 °F) on 10 January 1989, low even by coastal Antarctic standards. The lowest temperature ever recorded was −32.2 °C (−26.0 °F) on 2 August 1998, very high for Antarctica.

Green Canyon Climate section and weatherbox (WIP)

For: Green Canyon

As recorded by a station in Block 184, the air above Green Canyon has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af), with warm winters and extremely oppressive summers. Diurnal temperature variation is very low year-round (especially in summer), expected for its location far from any landmasses. Experiencing the purest Gulf influences possible, Green Canyon's summer nighttime low temperatures are some of the highest on Earth for any non-arid location, at least counting those on land. Temperatures below freezing are unknown.

The hot, humid air and warm water during summer and autumn can facilitate the development and sustainment of tropical cyclones, specifically Atlantic hurricanes, the water having surface temperatures above 26 °C (78.8 °F)—the typical threshold for tropical development—from May 25 to October 31 on average, and reaching a maximum of 30 °C (86 °F) on August 5. Precipitation is relatively evenly distributed throughout the year, peaking in late summer at the height of the hurricane season, having a secondary peak in winter, and reaching its nadir in late spring.

Comodoro Rivadavia Climate to be edited

Comodoro Rivadavia features a cold semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk). While the city receives less than 250 mm of rain annually, its relatively low evapotranspiration rate causes it to fall under this climate category. Summer is relatively hot and dry with an average temperature of 19.9 °C (67.8 °F) in January.[14] Winter is mild with an average temperature of 6.8 °C (44.2 °F) in July.[14] Precipitation is low, though the winter months receive more precipitation than in summer.

Average temperatures: Annual 12.8 °C
Maximum Average: January 25.6 °C
Minimum Average: July 2.8 °C
Predominant winds: W, SW
Precipitations: Average annual 238.7 mm
Month of Maximum Precipitations: May
Fog: 4 days/year
