Welcome to the Siberia in Russia, Europe.
By Mark on January 9, 2010
I have decided to write a post about Siberia, because of the wintry weather we are having over here in Great Britain. We are stuck in ahigh pressure which is blocking the warmer air from the south and meaning we are getting colder air from Russia. So i thought it would be a good idea to write about this continent, did you know that the average winter tempreture in Siberia, is -40 degrees celsius or 104 degrees fahrenheit, and in the Northern Hemisphere, there was a tempreture of of −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) on January 15, 1885 at Verkhoyansk in Siberia, Russia. It is a very cold place to live. We are expecting more snow on the way possibly anything up to 10 to 20 cm’s, which is 4 to 8 inches. On top of the 6 to 9 inches that we already have over here.
Welcome to the Siberia in Russia, is a vast region constituting nearly the whole of the Northern part of Asia and is a massive part of central and eastern portion of the Russian Federation. And has been around since the Russian Empire dating back to the 16th century. Because of the size of this continent you will find that it will cover a large area and so it goes from the
Eurasian Steppe in the west and continues through to the east where you will find the Ural Mountain it also includes the watershed which is between Pacific and Arctic drainage basins. Also this continent includes southward from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central Kazakhstan, then continues to the borders of Mongolia and China.
Because of the size of Siberia it actually makes up to 77% of territory in Russia, which is 13.1 million square kilometres, but not surprisingly, it only holds 25% of the Russian population which is estimated at 36 million people. That is because it is so cold over there. The average tempretures around Siberia are usually -40 degrees celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit. In the Northern Hemisphere, there was a record breaking tempreture of −67.8 °C (−90.0 °F) on January 15, 1885 at Verkhoyansk, Siberia, Russia.
