Large parts of Russia are currently experiencing lower-than-normal temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather agency in Russia&#8217;s Yakutia (Sakha) region said a temperature of -62.7 degrees Celsius was recorded at Tongulakh at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, breaking the station&#8217;s all-time low for the third time this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather station, which was modernized less than a year ago, is located in a remote, hard-to-reach area of Siberia where only few people live. Records for the area date back to 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A measurement of -62.7 degrees makes it the lowest temperature in all of Russia since February 2002, and Russia&#8217;s lowest temperature in January since 1982. It&#8217;s also the coldest temperature on Earth so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Yakutsk, the region&#8217;s capital, people braved the extreme temperatures and jumped into ice cold water to mark the Christian Orthodox day of Epiphany, which commemorates the baptism of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sakha leader Aysen Nikolayev was one of those who jumped into the water when the temperature in Yakutsk was about -50\u00b0C (-58\u00b0F). &#8220;You have to look after your health. This is absolutely voluntary,&#8221; he said, according to TASS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lowest temperature ever recorded in Russia was -67.8\u00b0C (-90.0\u00b0F), which happened two times, first in 1892 and then in 1933. This was also the world&#8217;s lowest temperature ever recorded in a populated region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/202301YakutskCold.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36767\"\/><figcaption>Extreme cold in Yakutsk, the capital of Russia&#8217;s Sakha (Yakutia) Republic (Credit: TASS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temperatures in Siberia have dropped as low as -62.7\u00b0C (-80.9\u00b0F), making it the coldest day in Russia in more than two decades, meteorologists say.
