Siberia has Seen Maximum Temperatures 35/40°C nearly Every Day of the Past 50+ Consecutive Days, never Happened Anything like this! Jikimda +37,9°C and Cekunda +37,5°C – All-time Highs!
Marek Kučera 
Siberia—one of the world’s coldest and most remote regions—is currently experiencing a historic and prolonged heatwave unlike anything ever recorded. For over 50 consecutive days, maximum temperatures between 35°C and 40°C have scorched vast areas of the Russian Far East and neighboring regions, marking one of the most extraordinary warm spells in Siberian meteorological history.
🛑 Never Seen Before: 50+ Days of Unrelenting Heat
Meteorological data from across Siberia show that for more than 50 days in a row, daily highs have remained between 35°C and 40°C, a climatic anomaly for a region more associated with permafrost and tundra than with subtropical heat. This kind of heat day after day, for nearly two months, is unprecedented.
The town of Bikin recorded 36.4°C, setting a new June temperature record for the area. The Chinese town of Youyi, located in the Siberian zone, also reached 36.4°C, while Cekunda broke its all-time high with 37.5°C.
🌡️ Siberia’s New Reality: Record Highs Day After Day
Multiple towns and remote stations are now logging their highest temperatures ever:
- Jikimda: 37.9°C, all-time record
- Ust’-Njukzha: 37.3°C, all-time record
- Tynda: 37.0°C, all-time record
- Tyanya: 36.6°C
- Suon-Tit: 35.8°C
- Nagornyj: 34.6°C, all-time record
- Norsk: 35.0°C, June record
- Ekimchan: 34.2°C, June record
This is not an isolated heat spike, but rather a systemic heat dome parked over the region—what experts describe as a feedback loop of warming in northern latitudes amplified by drier soils, melting permafrost, and stagnant high-pressure systems.
🌃 Tropical Nights in the Arctic? Record Warm Minimums
Adding to the severity of the event is the unusual warmth during nighttime hours. In Siberia, where temperatures usually plummet after sunset, current nighttime lows are remaining dangerously high, causing persistent heat stress.
📈 Extreme High Minimum Temperatures:
- Poset: 22.9°C
- Smidovich: 22.0°C
- Bratoljubovka: 21.9°C
- Timiryazevskij: 21.5°C
- Tynda: 18.9°C
- Astrahanka: 22.8°C
- Vladivostok: 22.0°C
- Jikimda: 19.2°C
- Ternej: 18.7°C
- Ust’-Njukzha: 18.3°C
- Tyanya: 17.3°C
- Tongulah: 16.8°C
- Blagovescetnsk: 21.2°C
- Aginskoe: 20.5°C
- Sosnovo: 18.7°C
- Agzu: 18.4°C
- Romanovka: 17.7°C
These “tropical nights” in the subarctic and boreal regions are breaking not only daily but also monthly and all-time records, a scenario once thought implausible at these latitudes.
📊 110+ Consecutive Days of Record-Breaking Across the Region
Experts note that Siberia has seen record temperatures broken almost daily for more than 110 days across various locations. This isn’t a regional fluke—it’s a sign of climate acceleration in the world’s coldest inhabited zone.
This ongoing heat event has surpassed even the alarming summer of 2020, when Verkhoyansk hit 38.0°C, then considered a historic outlier. Now, similar extremes are normalizing across entire districts.
🌍 Why It Matters: Arctic Amplification in Full Force
The current heatwave is a clear manifestation of Arctic amplification—a phenomenon where warming in the Arctic and subarctic occurs at over twice the global average. The consequences are severe and far-reaching:
- Melting permafrost destabilizes infrastructure and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
- Forest fires, which have already increased in intensity in Siberia, may surge further in coming weeks.
- Ecosystem disruptions impact flora, fauna, and indigenous communities that depend on seasonal rhythms.
- Global atmospheric circulation may be altered, increasing the likelihood of persistent heatwaves elsewhere.
⚠️ A Turning Point in Climate Monitoring
The unrelenting nature, geographic extent, and intensity of this heatwave in Siberia marks a new chapter in climate extremes. What was once thought impossible in the vast, icy wilderness of the Russian Far East is now a persistent and escalating pattern.
As climatologists continue to gather and analyze data, one conclusion is already clear: Siberia’s summer 2025 is not just a heatwave—it is a planetary warning signal.
