Dave sss, looks like unusually warm weather will continue in Siberia at least in the week ahead, likely dispelling the forming of usually cold winter weather in the region.
a northern hemisphere "pole of cold" looks to have vanished in the process, with its former location having recorded Celsius temperature differences in the past several decades of more than an ASTOUNDING 100 degrees, according to a Senior Russion meteorologist cited in the RT News report.
the following was reported on the RT news app yesterday, Monday. Headline first.
"Siberia Prepares For Abnormally Warm Winter weather After Year of Record-Breaking Heat
"Unseasonably high temperatures are being forecast this week throughout Siberia. The latest freak weather follows a summer of unprecedentedly warm weather in the remote region.
"One of Russia’s most senior climate scientists, Roman Vilfand, of the Hydrometeorological Center in Moscow, told reporters that Western Siberia’s weather was 6 to 10 degrees Celsius warmer than normal for the season, while Central Siberia will be 8 to 15 degrees warmer. In 2017, the average temperature in Siberia was around -15 degrees Celsius, with extremes as low as -30.
"Speaking to the TASS news agency, Vilfand added that, “In the Novosibirsk, Tomsk, and Omsk regions, daytime temperatures will be positive, [which is] incredible warmth [for the time of year].”
"In June, the federal agency reported record-breaking heat in Northeast Siberia, with the village of Verkhoyansk registering especially notable highs. At the time, Vilfand called the reading “phenomenal,” saying the area had once been a Pole of Cold – the place in the southern and northern hemisphere respectively that have the lowest air temperature.
"“It recorded -67.8 degrees Celsius at the end of the 1990s. Now it’s 38 degrees,” he said.
"International experts have pointed to the summer heatwave as a worrying sign for the world. A group of global scientists led by the UK’s Met Office warned that the scenario would have been “almost impossible” in the past, and claimed it represented “unequivocal evidence of the impact of climate change on the planet.”
