Tropical Nights (+21°C) at 62°N (Khanty-Mansiysk) in Siberia (The Polar Cicle is 66.5°N) – More than Average Daily Temperature for June

Siberia is currently experiencing an extraordinary heatwave, with minimum nighttime temperatures soaring to unusual levels for these high latitudes. At around 48°N, minimum temperatures have reached up to 25°C, while even further north near 62°N, night lows are staying as high as 21°C.

For example, Khanty-Mansiysk recorded a minimum temperature of 21.1°C—a staggering figure for a location deep in the Arctic region, normally associated with chilly nights.

What makes this heatwave even more remarkable is the combination of warmth with consistent moisture and showers, creating a tropical-like climate despite the Arctic proximity. Such humid and warm conditions at these latitudes are practically unheard of.

Meteorologists warn that this trend will continue, with temperatures expected to rise even further over the next few days, bringing hotter and more humid weather to Siberia. This unusual weather pattern highlights the growing impact of climate shifts in the Arctic region—an area traditionally known for its cold, dry climate.

Simply put, this is brutally hot weather, breaking all expectations for what Siberian summers look like.
