It is 13.4°C (56.1°F) at 15:00 local on Saturday 3 October.
Commentary: A mild warning from the wardrobe department.
Our synoptic decoder reads air temperature only, so this station reports no dew point, wind or pressure here.
Not enough history to draw a trend for this station yet.
Punta Indio B. A. has dropped below freezing on 88 nights since 1957. The desert remembers every one of them.
Today is colder than 91% of all days recorded here since 1957.
The coldest night Punta Indio B. A. has ever recorded, −5.0°C, would pass for a warm spell at Davis Lgb 46 Aws, which is −66.5°C right now.

Today’s high 13.4°C against 25.0°C in 1957. A reading that beats it is flagged here automatically, once a second cycle confirms it.

These are not official records. They are the highest and lowest readings this site has stored for Punta Indio B. A. since September 2026, across 2 days we hold a reading for. Official climatological records are adjudicated by national meteorological services and by the WMO.
Punta Indio B. A. (WMO 87596) is a SYNOP weather station in Argentina, 16 m above sea level, about 38 km from Magdalena.
We have kept a daily record here for 2 of the 8 days since 30 September 2026, from 2 observations.
The same record at three widths, picking up where the last 24 hours above leaves off. Each period is summarised from the grain that suits it, so nothing here is one reading repeated thousands of times into the page.
Over the last week we have a reading for 1 day here, and every one has been 13.4°C.
Typically 1 reading a day.

We have readings for 2 of the 8 days since we started storing this station on 30 September 2026.
Its last day with a reading was Sat 3 Oct 2026. Its longest unbroken run is 1 days.
This station lies about 3,900 km south of the equator.

Live reading from the station, after our quality checks
Readings here arrive through NOAA WMO SYNOP bulletins. SYNOP is the surface synoptic report that national weather services file to the WMO, typically at the main hours of 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC and often three hourly between them. It covers places with no airport, which is why the coldest readings on Earth arrive this way.
| Figure | Source | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Latest reading, today so far | NOAA Aviation Weather Center (METAR) and NOAA NWS WMO bulletins (SYNOP) | Measured, station |
| All-time, monthly and on-this-day records | NOAA NCEI Global Historical Climatology Network daily (GHCN-Daily), 1957 to 2025 at this site and its predecessors, and our own observations, 2 days | Measured, station |
| Nearby stations and distances | Computed from station positions in our own database | Calculated |
Every reading on this page has passed the checks below. A reading that fails any of them is stored as refused and can never be ranked, shown as a record, or counted in a daily high or low.
24 readings from this station have been refused in the 12 days since readings began being logged against individual stations.
A reading with no usable latitude and longitude is discarded. It cannot be ranked, mapped, or compared with its neighbours, and a temperature with no place is not an answer to which place is hottest.
Some feeds fill an unknown position with a stand-in value such as 99.99 degrees or an elevation of 9999 m. Those are not coordinates. They are caught separately from a missing position because a station placed at a fake point has no neighbours, so the neighbour check below can never see anything wrong with it.
SYNOP arrives as files that are only re-read when they change. A file that has stopped being updated is set aside whole, before any reading inside it is considered.
Different networks get different windows, because they report at different rates: 2 hours for METAR, which transmits continuously, and 9 hours for SYNOP, which reports at 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC. A single rule would have discarded the entire synoptic network, including every station in Antarctica.

Observations stored by HottestAndColdest. A day we were not yet tracking is shown as an empty square, and says nothing about whether the station reported.
Anything above 56.8 °C or below -95 °C is refused. The ceiling sits just above the highest reading WMO accepts, so a genuine new world record would be refused here too: a record needs adjudicating, not a live tile on a home page. The floor is deliberately further from its record, because the Antarctic plateau is thinly instrumented and a real extreme there has far less around it to corroborate it.
A change of more than 15 °C from this station's previous reading within 60 minutes is treated as a failing sensor. The limit is set from measured data: real weather reaches about 12 °C in an hour at desert sunrise or under a thunderstorm outflow, and the faults found were 20 °C and more.
A reading more than 12 °C from the median of other stations within 150 km is refused. It needs at least 3 neighbours to run at all, so it protects dense networks and can say nothing about an isolated station, which is why the other checks above have to stand on their own.
