"Despite only being early June, records are tumbling across parts of Siberia as extreme heat pushes into unusually high latitudes.
"Last Saturday, temperatures reached 37.9 degrees Celsius (100.2 Fahrenheit) in Jalturovosk, its hottest day in history, according to the #climatologist Maximiliano Herrera, who tracks #ExtremeTemperatures across the globe.
"A slew of temperature records have fallen in Siberia since then.
"Several all-time heat records were broken on Wednesday, including in Baevo, which reached 39.6 degrees Celsius (103.3 Fahrenheit), and Barnaul, which hit 38.5 degrees Celsius (101.3 Fahrenheit)."
