Canada is now ranked as the coldest country in the world, with an average yearly temperature of -5.35°C. It is followed by Russia and Mongolia. This ranking highlights a shift in understanding of global cold climates. The coldest inhabited place, Oymyakon in Russia, can see temperatures below -60°C. While Alaska is known for its cold, it does not rank among the top ten due to its overall climate. India ranks 17th, with winter temperatures in northern regions like Ladakh dropping to -45°C. This places India significantly warmer than the top coldest countries.
