NORTHERN Siberia?

I'll grant you that Barnaul certainly knows of 35c+ temps, but arctic circle? Heat records have been broken. Source: broken heat records.

Yup. “In June, July, and August, daytime temperatures over +30 °C (86 °F) are not uncommon.[19]” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verkhoyansk)

Average temps in that town go from -40C during winter to +15C during summer (with excursions outside this average below -60C and above +30C)
