The warming of the Arctic, as seen by the Siberian heatwave, may also impact western disturbances in India

Verkhoyansk, a town in Siberia, has recorded the highest temperature in the Arctic circle in the last 140 years at 38 degree celsius. This is around 18°C higher than the normal temperature for this time of the year for the place.

Even though the town is in the Guinness book of world records for the largest temperature range it experiences — from some -67 °C to some 37°C, this new record has an imprint of global warming and the impact of such warming can be witnessed even here in India.

“The new high shows temperature swings may be increasing,” Raghu Murtugudde, a climate scientist at the University of Maryland, said.

This is consistent with the consequences of the decrease in the Arctic Sea ice cover and reduction in ice thickness. The Arctic region is warming at twice the rate as the rest of the world because of anthropogenic green house gas emissions.

The increased rate of warming is because of a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification in which the melting ice hastens the process of warming by exposing areas that are not good at reflecting back heat into the atmosphere. This creates a feedback loop between melting ice and rising temperatures, amplifying the impact of warming.
