A town called Verkhoyansk in Siberia now has us beat, having reached 100.4 degrees on June 22. This town is north of the Arctic Circle, and is the first location anywhere north of the circle to reach or surpass 100 degrees. The reading was 32 degrees above average for that location.Verkhoyansk has been called the north pole of cold, and is known for its especially wide range of annual temperatures. Its average January temperature is -49 and its July average is 62. Knowing that, you can imagine why a reading of 100.4 would be more than unusual. This record high temperature is a signal of a rapidly and continually warming planet, and a preview of how Arctic warming will continue in an increasingly hot future, scientists say.
