From 5-15 to 5-22, average high/low forecast...winter begins. All southern stations will be experiencing quite a decrease in temperatures over the next week (except for Mawson Peak and McMurdo which were the only ones to have an increase and Vostok which comes out as exactly the same as before). Mawson Station and Neumayer will see the biggest drop in temperatures. Amundsen-Scott: -36/-40 ↓Bellingshausen: -1/-4 ↓Bernardo Higgins: -2/-4 ↓Bouvetøya: -3/-6 ↓Casey: -19/-21 ↓↓Campbell Island: 6/4 ↓Davis: -19/-24 ↓↓Dome Argus: Not Available Dōmu Fuji: -61/-65 ↓

The Antarctic Peninsula cools significantly while most places stay roughly the same or warm slightly (except Mawson, Neumayer, and Davis which "warm" quite a bit).

Inukjuak reached 0.4 on April 23rd. The forecast low tonight is -21 so it'll be a while before it reaches +10. Inukjuak has now gone more than a month without reaching the freezing. However, it's supposed to reach +4 on Sunday and +1 or +2 the next few days...so it will get above freezing for the first time this month soon! What an awful climate.
On the other hand, some stations in the Canadian high arctic haven't reached freezing yet and aren't going to soon. Normal is late May or early June. Alert turns later than Eureka, but Resolute seems to take a little longer than even Alert and there might be an even colder station somewhere. Extreme Max/min for the next week for a few places:
Resolute -11 to -2 Alert -14 to -7 (Brr...) Eureka -12 to -4 Grise Fiord -12 to -4 Cape Dyer -11 to -5 Mould Bay -8 to -2
Iqaluit -7 to +1 Arviat -4 to +5 (summer?) |

I guess if you ever were going to take a trip to Chita it'd be this next week Giorbanguly  |

Side comment: I love how in documentaries about the high Arctic they always say the 24-hour sunlight in spring provides so much warmth and everything starts to melt and bursts to life just like that. No it doesn't, the sun angle is still so low it barely crawls above freezing by June. Literally everywhere else with shorter days it warms up much faster so why even mention it, lol.

Norilsk is finally showing some sign of spring in the horizon with 4C at it warmest and heavy rain. At least they could expect some of the snow to melt. The amounts must be enormous.
Vorkuta on the other hand is slightly worse, sporting at -2/2C at it warmest. Temperature-wise there is not much difference between Vorkuta in the beginning of June and Oslo in the middle of January.

Lol, I have noticed this as well. I have also seen them reference March as the "beginning of spring" even though March is barely warmer than mid-winter in the arctic, especially the beginning of the month, and the sun is still quite weak. Even April is an extension of winter most places in the arctic temperature wise, but of course daylight is a lot longer. Things won't be melting in -20 C temps though regardless of how long the days are lol. |

For the past 3-4 weeks Nain, Labrador and Norilsk have been almost identical temp wise... But now, finally Nain is beginning to warm up. Their 9 day forecast average high/low are 6C/-1C... |

This is what Eureka looks like.   |

^ Yes, but it really doesn't start to get going until late April or so. To say spring starts in March in the Arctic is a bit misguided, even April in Eureka has average highs of -23 C lol Btw those winter averages look a bit too warm. Here are the averages Jan-Mar at Eureka (in C): -32.9/-40.1 (Jan) -33.7/-41.1 (Feb) -33.3/-40.3 (Mar) As you can see, March is colder than even January, and the second coldest month after February and even then, it's not a very big difference either. March does see the start of long daylight, but the sun is still quite low (peak on the 16th is only about 8 degrees or so) and the temperatures are still at mid-winter. An extension of winter. April's temps are still winter like (average high of -23 C) but daylight is very long, even with a weak sun (peak angle is only about 18-19 degrees mid month). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka%2C_Nunavut#Climate |

They maded -6°C a few days ago. I have no idea if today resulted in thundersnow, though. Blitzortung shows a couple of strikes around the area and snow in Tasmania was forecast to fall to 800m today, and Liawenee is at 1057m...  |

Siberia and related (31/5-6/6):
Astana: 22/11
Chita: 27/11
Harbin: 32/20
Imeni Poliny: 23/6
Irkutsk: 21/10
Khabarovsk: 27/14
Komsomolsk: 26/12
Krasnoyarsk: 21/10
Kyzyl: 26/10
Mohe County: 28/9
Nakhodka: 17/10
Norilsk: 6/0
Novosibirsk: 20/12
Omsk: 19/9
Oymyakon: 17/2
Qiqihar: 31/19
Spassk-Dalny: 26/13
Tura: 18/7
Ulaanbaatar: 23/11
Verkhoyansk: 20/7
Vladivostok: 19/11
Yakutsk: 24/8
General takeaway is that summer is on high alert in North East China, affecting East Siberia too, with Yakutsk hitting proper summer temps and even Verkhoyansk being forecast a 29°C day early next week. Western Siberia lags behind still but starting to look a bit warmer there early next week as well.

Could you add places on the north coast like Tiksi, Khatanga and Dikson as well? I think they could give Norilsk a run for its money.

I get annoyed when any media says "finland might see -40c temps and the sun doesn't set in summer or rise in winter". While it is true, it doesn't represent what most people living here experience. After all, Lapland has a smaller population than the city of Turku

After all, Lapland has a smaller population than the city of Turku Yeah, that's really only the far north of Finland. Finland is hardly Eureka. My sister went to Helsinki back in October 2016 and said one resident told her that it's always -30 C in winter and the sun never goes up....in Helsinki. I told her straight up that it was bullshit, but of course her argument was "the guy lives there, he'd know".....  |
