As mentioned in another comment, this is not very unusual (summer days are often above 30 degrees C). The town Verkhoyansk is in an extreme subarctic climate, and along with other famous places like Oymyakon and Yakutsk they're known to have the largest amplitudes of temperature in the world, the only places with "a temperature range higher than 100 °C " between coldest and warmest throughout the year.
- ornxka 6y ago>a temperature range higher than 100 °C Uh, you meant Fahrenheit, right?
- zaarn 6y ago+38C to -67C, so about 105C temperature range. It's close to 200°F range in case you're interested.
- koolba 6y agoPretty sure GP means Celsius. A range of +/- 100F is common all around the world. Anybody living in New York has felt a 100F summer and 0F winter.
- minitech 6y ago> Verkhoyansk holds the record for both the hottest and the coldest temperatures ever recorded above the Arctic circle, with 38.0 °C (100.4 °F) and −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) respectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verkhoyansk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verkhoyansk

- Thlom 6y agoI just checked and Verkhoyansk lowest temperature record is -67.8 deg C, and highest is 38.0 deg C. That is 105.8 deg temperature range. In Celsius. In Fahrenheit the range is almost 200 degrees!
- richthegeek 6y agoOn an average year Yakutsk goes from −42.7 to 25.5, a measly 68.2°C (120.6F) range The record high is 38.4°C, and record low is −64.4°C, which is a historical range of 102.8°C (185F), although presumably not in the same year.
- crispyporkbites 6y agoNo - it gets down to below minus 60 celcius there, so a range of 100 degrees celcius
- fulafel 6y agoAll time record could be said to be very unusual though.
- voqv 6y agoBut not unusual in the context that people would be sunbathing like never before, that's what I meant as a response to parent comment :)
