Last days, Mkweather informed about extreme frosts in Verkhoyansk, which have produced the 3rd strongest coldwave since 2000 /-58,1/ (!!!) /https://mkweather.com/2021/01/18/siberia-with-the-3rd-strongest-coldwave-since-2000-delyankir-581c-verkhoyansk-578c//. These, extremely cold Siberian air masses have shifted more southeastward last days and parts of Eastern Siberia and Far East report now really extreme weather conditions.

In parts of the coldest region of the world, e.g. in Zhigansk, are temperatures below -55°C the lowest since 1996 (for 25 years), other parts are already very close to -60°C (in Oymyakon lastly measured in 2002) – on Thursday, 21.

For the region, there are unprecedented frosts after year 2000 and one of the coldest days in 3rd millennium, or even, the coldest days since 90s ever.

Extreme cold Siberian air is moreover forecasted to shift above parts of Europe (mainly north and east), with next possible extreme Siberian winter wave at the end of January or at the beginning of February 2021.
