A record-breaking heatwave has hit the Arctic Circle, with temperatures reaching almost 40C in some locations.

In the Siberian town of Verkhoyansk, where conditions can get as cold as -60 degrees Celsius, the local weather station has recorded a temperature of 38C.

If this is proven to be accurate, it will have broken the record not just for the town, but for the highest ever temperature in the Arctic Circle.

It comes following similar reports elsewhere.

Reports indicate air temperature reached 38° C in #Verhojansk in #Siberia ??, and as shown by #Sentinel3 ???️the Land Surface Temperature (LST) 45°C ?

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.

There are now warnings of relentless Arctic heatwaves which could be set to continue indefinitely.

We are in a relentless Arctic #heatwave – Siberia is literally on fire right now and it's set to continue.

Temperatures will comfortably exceed + 30 °C within the Arctic Circle over the next 10 days at least. It is a staggering + 20-25 °C warmer than it should be…

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
