Write a short note on the climate of Antarctica.

Antarctica is an extremely cold, dry and windy continent. The continental edges experience powerful winds which blow at a speed of about 160 kilometres per hour. These strong cold winds are called blizzards.
The summer in Antarctica is from November to February. During this time the sun never sets. The summer temperature remains below the freezing point.
The winter is from May to August. The sun never rises during these months. As the winter approaches, the sea around Antarctica freezes.
No rainfall occurs in Antarctica as the land surface remains frozen and the air remains dry. However, light snowfall occurs during winter, mainly in the coastal areas.
