Vladivostok, a city in Russia’s Far East, experienced an unseasonably warm Sunday as temperatures soared to 14 degrees Celsius, setting a new 30-year high-temperature record for this date, according to the Primorye Hydrometeorology Center.
The unprecedented warmth surpassed the previous record set in 1994 by 0.9 degrees Celsius. Residents enjoyed mild nighttime temperatures ranging between 5 and 7 degrees Celsius, with only light mist observed overnight. The weekend remained dry, with no significant precipitation recorded.
The significant rise in temperature is part of a warming trend observed in the region, sparking discussions among locals and officials about changing climate patterns. The Primorye Hydrometeorology Center continues to monitor the situation closely.
As Vladivostok embraces these unusually warm conditions, questions arise about the broader implications for Russia’s Far East and the need for adaptive measures to address shifting weather patterns.
