Extreme Winter: Record Snowfall and Bone-Chilling Temperatures Grip Russia

Siberia experienced temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius, while Moscow was hit by record snowfall, causing flight disruptions. The Sakha Republic, home to one of the world's coldest cities, Yakutsk, saw temperatures drop below minus 50 C. Climate change has made such extreme temperatures less common, with permafrost showing signs of thawing. Moscow's airports faced delays and cancellations due to heavy snowfall, with temperatures expected to reach minus 18 C later in the week.
