BBC reported that China’s northernmost city, Mohe, has recorded its lowest temperature since records began.

Mohe – known as “China’s North Pole” – is in the province of Heilongjiang, close to the Russian border.

On Sunday, its local meteorological station recorded a record-low temperature of -53C (-63F) at 7am. The previous coldest temperature on record in the city was -52.3C, in 1969.

However, the temperature is still shy of China’s national record.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in China is -58C, in the city of Genhe, Inner Mongolia in December 2009.

By contrast, the lowest temperature recorded in the UK is -27.2C, set in different parts of Scotland  in 1895, 1982 and 1995.
