Some of these numbers are wildly inaccurate.

A record low of 16 in Angola? Nope, it's gotten at least as low as -1 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Angola#Climate)

A record low of 18.1 in Yemen? Nope, it's gotten at least as low as -4 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Yemen#Climate)

Those numbers I found also aren't across the whole country (just specific cities), so it's possible colder temperatures have been recorded elsewhere

And those are just the two I checked

Oh man, I didn't even notice that. Yeah, it can get chilly in the Middle-East. Sooo these numbers are crap.
