Unprecedented heat in the Arctic again today.
Even hotter than yesterday. This thread explains what is going on.
This part of the world is crazy. Northerly winds delivers cold and sub freezing while southerly winds can push exceptional heat (despite being in the Arctic). The range of extremes is enormous.

Arctic heat flashes like this are not new. The fact that we continually push the boundaries of what is possible and keep breaking records in the Arctic is all part of climate change.
The Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of Planet Earth.
I urge people to read this thread. We can't jump on every hot day in the Arctic and shout 'Climate change'. Hot days in the Arctic are part of history and part of climate.
But the continual destruction of heat records is the main issue here.
Always good to know the background story of weather and climate in places like Northern Russia.
A lot of people might not know exactly how warm the Arctic can get, even in a normal year.
