North America, which here includes
Central America and the
Caribbean. The elevation in metres above sea level of locations reporting record minimum temperatures is given where relevant.
^Although the reference gives the date as
16 June, the given date is most likely correct.
^37.8°C reported at
Fort Yukon on
27 June1915 is unreliable. At nearby stations, the daily maximum temperature on the 27th June was the lowest between the 24th and the 28th.
^35°C has possibly been recorded at the same location. 34.4°C was reported at the same location on the following day but this reading is probably unreliable.

abTemperatures as low as 11.6°C have been reported at
Free TownAntigua (on
21 January2017) but this is a new station with little history and temperatures appear low for the location.

^An unconfirmed temperature of 36.5°C has been reported at an unknown location. 36.1°C reported at
Grand Cayman Airport on
4 September1966 is probably unreliable.
^The lowest known fully dated temperature recorded at Villa Mills (the highest inhabited locality in Costa Rica) is -1.0°C on
9 January1960 and
24 January1962, with -2°C reported in
February2001. -3.0°C was reported near the summit of
Irazú Volcano (elevation 3430 m) on
15 January1974. Temperatures as low as -9.4°C reported at high elevations are believed to be recorded near ground level.

2 March1959 is probably unreliable. A temperature of -8°C has been reported at an elevation of around 3000 m on
Pico Duarte.
