I doubt many people will be interested in this, but perhaps some will be. Anyway Western siberia is going to see a northerly blast next tuesday which will bring a bout of very unseasonable weather lasting from tuesday to at least thursday. The following shows the area affected by the cold weather:



Places in that region, particularly the north are likely to see: subzero temperatures especially by night, potentially heavy lying and drifting snowfall, and strong winds. For early August weather like this in this part of the world is very unusual, although it wouldn't look far out of place by the end of the month. 


2023/2024 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):
29/11 (-6), 30/11 (-6), 02/12 (-5), 03/12 (-5), 04/12 (-3), 16/01 (-3), 18/01 (-8), 08/02 (-5)

Total: 8 days with snow/sleet falling.

2022/2023 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):

18/12 (-1), 06/03 (-6), 08/03 (-8), 09/03 (-6), 10/03 (-8), 11/03 (-5), 14/03 (-6)

Total: 7 days with snow/sleet falling.

2021/2022 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):

26/11 (-5), 27/11 (-7), 28/11 (-6), 02/12 (-6), 06/01 (-5), 07/01 (-6), 06/02 (-5), 19/02 (-5), 24/02 (-7), 30/03 (-7), 31/03 (-8), 01/04 (-8)
Total: 12 days with snow/sleet falling.

Edit > just looked at Norilsk's climate in that shaded zone and they have an average August high of 15C, 7C in September then a big drop to -6C as a high in October!


Average high in January -24C

You can actually briefly see the -10C 850hpa isotherm appear!

I'd expect to see some record temps appear in any weather stations nearby.
