Hottest Arctic temperature record likely set with 100-degree reading in Siberia
Temperature departures from average projected during the next three days, showing extreme temperatures in Siberia and parts of Canada. By Andrew Freedman Andrew Freedman Editor focusing on extreme weather, climate change, science and the environment. Email Bio Follow June 21 at 1:45 PM A northeastern Siberian town is likely to have set a record for the highest temperature documented in the Arctic Circle, with a reading of 100.
Verkhoyansk is located at 67.5 degrees north latitude, whereas the Arctic Circle begins at 66.5 degrees.The town of about 1,300 is located farther north than Fairbanks, Alaska, and is known for having an unusually wide temperature range. During the winter, Verkhoyansk is one of the coldest spots in the world, with temperatures frequently dipping well below minus-50 degrees.
The oil spill in Norilsk — above the Arctic Circle in north-central Russia — leaked at least 20,000 tons of diesel fuel into the nearby Ambarnaya River and is thought to be the worst spill in the Russian Arctic’s history.While some questions remain about the accuracy of the Verkhoyansk temperature measurement, data from a Saturday weather balloon launch at that location supports the 100-degree reading.
The preliminary finding, Cerveny said, is based in part on the upper air observations that bolster the surface temperature measurement. For example, on May 22, the town of Khatanga, Siberia, located well north of the Arctic Circle, recorded a temperature of 78 degrees, about 46 degrees above normal. The typical maximum temperature for the day at that location is 32 degrees. The town obliterated its previous record high for the date of 54 by about 24 degrees and its monthly record of 68 by about 10 degrees.
