Record-breaking Cold Grips Siberia with Temperatures Plummeting Below -70 Degrees

Parts of Siberia are experiencing extreme cold with temperatures dropping below minus-70 degrees Celsius, the most severe in decades. The frigid weather is a stark contrast to the abnormally warm conditions observed in other parts of the world. Last month was the warmest November ever recorded globally. Climate scientists expect extreme cold events to become less frequent and intense over time due to climate change. The cold in Siberia is attributed to the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation, displacing the coldest air southward. The extreme cold is expected to persist for the next week, with temperatures up to 40 degrees below average.
