jul 7, 2020 - Temperature records in Siberia while wildfires in the Arctic surpass last year’s activity

Description:

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reports today that global temperatures for June were on par with 2019’s record temperatures for the same month. But the most striking regional feature was exceptional warmth over Arctic Siberia, where average temperatures reached as high as 10 °C above normal for June. The temperature averaged over all land in Arctic Siberia combined was more than 5 degrees above normal, and more than a degree higher than in 2018 and 2019, the two previous warmest Junes.
