The U.N. weather agency said Tuesday it has certified a 38-degree Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) reading in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk last year as the highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic, the latest in a string of "alarm bells about our changing climate."
The sweltering heat, on June 20, 2020 in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk, was the highest temperature ever recorded above the Arctic Circle, the World Meteorological Organization said.
The United Nations logged the hottest temperature in history in the Arctic, finding that the Russian town of Verkhoyansk hit 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) in the summer of 2020.
The 38 degree Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) reading in Russian Siberia in June of last year should "sound alarm bells about our changing climate," the World Meteorological Organization says.
