Arctic records its hottest temperature ever
BY JEFF BERARDELLI

Alarming
heat scorched Siberia on Saturday as the small town of Verkhoyansk (67.5°N
latitude) reached 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, 32 degrees above the normal high
temperature. If verified, this is likely the hottest temperature ever recorded
in Siberia and also the hottest temperature ever recorded north of the Arctic
Circle, which begins at 66.5°N.
The
town is 3,000 miles east of Moscow and further north than even Fairbanks,
Alaska. On Friday, the city of Caribou, Maine, tied an all- time record at 96 degrees Fahrenheit and was once again well into the
90s on Saturday. To put this into perspective, the city of Miami, Florida, has
only reached 100 degrees one time since the city began keeping temperature
records in 1896.
Verkhoyansk
is typically one of the coldest spots on Earth. This past November, the area
reached nearly 60 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, one of the first spots to drop
that low in the winter of 2019-2020. The scene below is certainly more
characteristic of eastern Siberia.
Reaching 100 degrees in or near the Arctic is almost unheard of. Although the reading is questionable, back in 1915 the town of Fort Yukon, Alaska, not quite as far north as Verkhoyansk, is reported to have reached near 100 degrees. And in 2010 a town a few miles south of the Arctic circle in Russia reached 100

As a
result of the hot-dry conditions right now, numerous
fires rage nearby, and smoke is visible for thousands of miles on satellite
images.
This heat is not an
isolated occurrence. Parts of Siberia have
been sizzling for weeks and running remarkably above normal since January. May featured
astonishing warmth in western Siberia, where some locales were 18 degrees
Fahrenheit above normal, not just for a
day, but for the month. As a whole, western Siberia averaged 10 degrees above
normal for May, obliterating anything previously experienced.
On May
23, the Siberian town of Khatanga, far north of the Arctic Circle, hit 78
degrees Fahrenheit. This was 46 degrees above normal and shattered the previous
record by a virtually unheard-of 22 degrees. On June 9, Nizhnyaya Pesha, an
area 900 miles northeast of Moscow, near the Arctic Ocean's Barents Sea, hit a
sweltering 86 degrees Fahrenheit, a staggering 30 degrees above normal.
What's
perhaps even more impressive is that this relative warmth has persisted since
December, with average temperatures in western Siberia 10 degrees Fahrenheit
above normal — doubling the previous departure from average in 2016.

The
average heat across Russia from January to May is so remarkable that it matches
what's projected to be normal by the year 2100 if current trends in
heat-trapping carbon emissions continue. In the image below, the data point for
2020 is almost off the charts, and matches
what climate models expect to be typical many
decades from now.
The extreme
events of recent years are due to a combination of natural weather patterns and
human-caused climate change. The weather pattern giving rise to this heat wave
is an incredibly stubborn ridge of high pressure; a dome of heat which extends
vertically upward through the atmosphere. The sweltering heat is forecast to
remain in place for at least the next week, catapulting temperatures easily
into the 90s in eastern Siberia.
But
this heat wave can not be viewed as an isolated weather pattern. Last summer,
the town of Markusvinsa, a village in northern Sweden on the southern edge of
the Arctic Circle, hit 94.6°F. Warming and drying of the landscape is leading to
unprecedented Arctic fires, with the summer of 2019 being the worst fire
season on record.
Due to
heat trapping greenhouse gases that result from the burning of fossil fuels and
feedback loops, the Arctic is warming at more than two times the average rate
of the globe. This phenomenon is known as Arctic Amplification, which is leading to the decline of sea ice, and in some cases snow cover, due to rapidly warming temperature.
Over the
past four decades, sea ice volume has decreased by 50%. The lack of white ice,
and corresponding increase in dark ocean and land areas, means less light is
reflected and more is absorbed, creating a feedback loop and heating the area
disproportionately.
As the
average climate continues to heat up, extremes like the current heat wave will
become more frequent and intensify. Scientists say there is only one way to
dampen the impact of climate change and that is to stop burning fossil fuels.
Correction: This story has been updated to correct the name of the town
that reported a near-100-degree day in 1915 to Fort Yukon, not Prospect Creek.
