Wildfires have actually been made more extreme by heats and strong winds in the Arctic.
Temperature Levels in the Arctic Circle are most likely to have struck an all-time record on Saturday, reaching a scorching 38 C (100 F) in Verkhoyansk, a Siberian town.
Hot summertime weather is not unusual in the Arctic Circle, however current months have actually seen unusually high temperatures. It has an extreme climate with temperature levels plunging in January to an average maximum of -42 C and then rising in June to 20 C.
However a persistent heatwave this year in the Arctic Circle has actually fretted meteorologists.
Previously in June, parts of Siberia taped 30 C, while in May, Khatanga in Russia – situated in the Polar circle at 72 degrees north – set a new May temperature record of 25.4 C.
” Year-on-year temperature records are being broken around the world, but the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else in the world,” said Dr Dann Mitchell, associate professor in climatic science at the University of Bristol. “So it is unsurprising to see records being broken in this region. We will see more of this in the near future.”
Is this evidence of climate modification?
