      Extreme cold sends temperatures plummeting to 73 below
      zero in Siberia







      Abnormal cold spell in Siberia is the longest in 14 years
      Temps are expected to dip below -50°F in the coming days, as classes have been canceled across Siberia. Frigid temps are expected to last until the end of January for portions of Russia.

      If you're someone who's not a fan of cold weather, chances are you won't be taking any trips to the Russian city of Yakutsk anytime soon. The city is currently in the midst of an abnormally long period of harsh subzero cold that is considered unusual even for Siberia's standards.

      The temperature in portions of the Yakutia region of eastern Russia, where Yakutsk is located, dropped below 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (40 degrees below zero Celsius) during the middle of December and hasn't climbed above that level since -- making this one of the longest stretches of subzero cold in at least 14 years, according to The Associated Press.

      Outside of a brief "warmup" to around 24 below zero F (31 below zero C) for the first couple of days of January, the city of Yakutsk, located just south of the Arctic Circle, has recorded both high and low temperatures below 30 below zero F (34 below zero C) since Dec. 8, 2020.

      Even colder air has settled into Delyankir, a small district located about 500 miles (800 km) to the northeast of Yakutsk. On Monday morning, Jan. 18, a low temperature of 73 below zero F (58.3 below zero C) was reported.

      [​IMG]
      Delyankir is near Oymyakon, a rural village which is known as the coldest inhabited place on Earth. According to The Siberian Times, the lowest officially recorded temperature in Oymyakon was 89.9 F below zero (67.7 below zero C) in 1933.

      On Monday, Jan.18, Verkhoyansk had a high temperature of just 69.3 F below zero (56.3 below zero C) followed by a low of 71.5 below zero (57.5 below zero C) on Tuesday morning.

      In Yakutsk, the city's lowest temperature of this cold stretch was 59 below zero F (50.6 below zero C) on Jan. 19. This was the coldest temperature recorded in the community in 15 years.

                  Some snow during the night and into the early morning, but the Sun has been out for a couple of hours. The temperature is now 36.9f , with some snow still on the ground, and the pressure reading is 976.9hpa.
                  I have a 10' high, kept to 4' wide Pyracantha, by the front door, which is known to the neighbours as "Hotel Pyracantha" due to the amount of Birds that live in there and it's really busy with birds flying in and out.....so Spring must be only weeks away.:cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

                    Brilliant sunshine and it is up to 15f. A mild breeze is floating my flag now and again.

                    A super day for getting some things fixed in one of the little greenhouses. Should be up in the 50's in there by lunch time :blue thumb:

                        It has been a warm and drizzling afternoon, perfect for Paradise and staying in by the log fire watching The Rundown.

                            We did laugh ... and cringe a lot! Great movie,

                              No frost this morning and just a light breeze. I did some work in the garden and it felt quite nippy. The sun came out mid afternoon and around 4.30 we had two minutes of snow.

                              Tomorrow is forecast to be cold with snow in the afternoon.

                                The skies are now clearing and the temperature is dropping like a stone and it's now 28.f and I bet it will get a lot colder during the night. They are forecasting milder, wetter, weather from Tuesday onwards though.:cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:
