Winds in Antarctica

Temperature is far from the only challenge awaiting the brave souls at the South Pole. Here blow the strongest and most persistent winds on the planet, reaching speeds of 322 km/h (with an average of about 240 km/h)! Moreover, these winds blow almost year-round, hardly ever subsiding. Nowhere else in the world will you encounter such harsh weather conditions.

However, it’s almost always sunny here: due to the cold, the air is very dry (it has the lowest relative humidity on the planet), making this place have the most intense solar radiation on Earth.
