-67 Celsius degrees were reported in Sakha on Tuesday.
Sakha is known for its climate extremes, with the Verkhoyansk Range being the coldest area in the Northern Hemisphere. Some of the lowest natural temperatures ever recorded have been here. The Northern Hemisphere’s Pole of Cold is at Verkhoyansk, where the temperatures reached as low as −67.8 °C in 1892, and at Oymyakon, where the temperatures reached as low as −71.2 °C in 1926.
Sakha’s population is approximately 1 million people. Citizens are used to climate extremes; however, -67 Celsius degrees are too low even for them, so local police have asked parents not to let their children outside.
