Wrigley Arpt has dropped below freezing on 1712 nights since 2018. The desert remembers every one of them.
Today is colder than 57% of all days recorded here since 2018.
The coldest night Wrigley Arpt has ever recorded, −45.5°C, would pass for a warm spell at Davis Lgb 46 Aws, which is −57.3°C right now.

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.
The nearest other station is 197.5 km away. Quality control compares a reading against stations within 150 km, so there is nothing close enough to cross-check this one against.
Wrigley Arpt (CYWY) is a weather station in Canada, 135 m above sea level.

Entered the hundred coldest reporting stations on Earth, reaching 100th of 5,241.
These are not official records. They are the highest and lowest readings this site has stored for Wrigley Arpt since September 2026, across 19 days we hold a reading for. Official climatological records are adjudicated by national meteorological services and by the WMO.
| Month | High | Low | Mean | Days | Readings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | 3.0°C | −11.0°C | −4.7°C | 3 | 30 |

| September 2026 | 9.0°C | 0.0°C | 5.2°C | 4 | 40 |
Means are of the readings we stored, weighted by how often this station reported, so they are not daily averages and not climate normals.

We have readings for 19 of the 46 days since we started storing this station on 24 September 2026.
Its last day with a reading was Fri 6 Nov 2026. Its longest unbroken run is 5 days.
This station lies about 7,000 km north of the equator. It lies about 400 km short of the Arctic Circle.

35.8°C (96.4°F) on Saturday, 8 July 2023. That is the highest in the daily record we hold for this station, which runs since 2018. It is not an officially certified record unless a meteorological authority has recognised it.

Readings here arrive through NOAA METAR. METAR is the routine aerodrome weather report, issued for aviation, typically every 30 or 60 minutes and more often when conditions change. It updates far more frequently than a synoptic report, which is why these pages have a usable chart.
| 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), 2018 to 2026 at this site and its predecessors, and our own observations, 19 days, which hold the record shown above | 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.
No reading from this station has been refused in the last 14 days.
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.
8 Novembers of readings here, 2018 to 2025. Too few for a trend line.
Warmest November here: 2025, averaging −8.1°C. Coldest: 2020, averaging −14.2°C.

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.
