The average temperature is approximately -2° celsius.
Arctic winters are long and cold, and summers are short and cool. Temperatures vary with latitude, ice and snow cover, and proximity to the ocean. Ice covers most of the ocean surface year-round, causing subfreezing temperatures much of the time. The Arctic is a major source of very cold air that moves toward the equator, meeting with warmer air in the middle latitudes and causing rain and snow. Minimum temperatures of - 90° F are reached in Greenland and northern Siberia; maximum temperatures of about 23° F to 36° F are common on the ice sheet, and highs of 70°F 100° F are common on land areas.

Temperatures
The Arctic’s climate is characterized by cold winters and cool summers. Precipitation almost always comes in the form of snow; it hasn't rained in over two hundred years. The arctic's annual precipitation is very low with an average of less than 51 cm (20 in.). Persistent winds constantly arouse snow to create the illusion of continuous snowfall. Its warmest average temperature can be 37°C (98.6°F) and the coldest average temperature is approximately -68°C (-90.4°F). The climate is moderated by oceanic influences, having generally warmer temperatures and heavier snowfalls than the colder and drier interior areas. However, along the edge, the Arctic Ocean remains frozen throughout the year.

If you define the Arctic as all of the earth north of 66° 33′ 39″ latitude, then the pole of cold is probably at Verkhoyansk in Siberia (located at 67°33′N 133°23′E), where a temperature of -90F was recorded.

Summer temperatures of up to 100F have been recorded across the land area of the Arctic.
