-45C In Yakutia As Deep Winter Grips Siberia; Northern India Shivers; The Brightening Bombshell; + Fossil Fuels Aren’t for Turning — But the Agenda Is

With the green narrative collapsing, the climate-industrial complex is mutating into the 'biosecurity'-industrial complex.

-45C In Yakutia As Deep Winter Grips Siberia

Russia’s Far North is now deep in winter.

On Nov 12, two stations in Yakutia —Saskylakh (-45.2C) and Yubileynaya (-45C) — dropped to their coldest November 12 readings on record. Saskylakh beat its 1972 record (of -44.9C), while Yubileynaya bested a mark that had stood since 1949 (-42.8C).

Across central Yakutia, overnight lows continue to sink to -35C to -40C (-31F to -40F), with clearings dropping even lower. In the northeast and northwest, thermometers are expected to hover between -40C and -45C, with lowland pockets plunging toward -48C (-54F). The region faces increasing northwesterly winds up to 18 m/s, bringing blizzards to parts of Neryungri District.

Heavy snow, a “winter wonderland”—according to reports—is currently unfolding in Sheregesh, Kemerovo Oblast:

Yakutsk remains locked in deep freeze, with daytime highs struggling to -25C (-13F) and nights below -30C (-22F). The pattern signals an early and intense start to winter across Siberia, coinciding with ongoing, ever-accumulating snows.

Snowfall is building to the south too, in northern China. Below is a look at Altay, Xinjiang on the evening of Nov 13:

Northern India Shivers

Odisha’s Daringbadi has crashed to 7.6C (45F), an unusually low mid-November minimum and one of the sharpest early-season chills recorded in the Eastern Ghats.
