At this time of year, the maximum temperature is usually 20 degrees Celsius. The city - Verkhoyansk in the North Pole broke all records in the last week. The temperature was 38 degrees Celsius.
At first, this statistic is being viewed with a little skepticism. Maybe there was some problem in the instrument, but the next day the temperature was 35 degrees. Seeing this temperature record, scientists and environmentalists were becoming worried.
The city of Verkhoyansk, about 4,800 kilometers from Moscow, is one of the coolest areas in the North Pole. In winter, the temperature here becomes minus 50 degrees. Due to this extreme weather, the number of people in the city is low (about 1300). Now the people there are suffering due to this sudden rise in temperature. Scientists say ice is melting at the North Pole much faster than in other parts of the world, due to global warming.
