Climate and temperatures in Russia

The average and minimal temperatures in Russian regions differ.

In Yakutia the winter is most severe, with the lowest temperature around –55 to –60 °C (around –70 °F).

In the European regions of Russia (west to Ural mountains), the average winter temperature rarely falls below –15 °C.

In Russia this period of the year is called the Epiphany frosts and has been known for its low temperatures for centuries. One of the factors for these temperatures is the climate, that is continental.

The other factor is Russia's geography: it is as northerly as Canada, but with little open water inside to store the sun's energy. For example, in the Altai region in August the day temperature is higher than 20 °C, but at night it can fall down to 0 to -5 °C.
