Which of these happened in Siberia during July 2021 for the 3rd year in a row?
For the third year in a row, residents of northeastern Siberia are reeling from the worst wildfires they can remember. In recent years, summer temperatures in the Russian Arctic have gone as high as 100 degrees, feeding enormous blazes. Last year, wildfires scorched more than 60,000 square miles of forest and tundra, an area the size of Florida. More than 30,000 square miles have already burned in Russia this year, according to government statistics published mid-July 2021, with the region only two weeks into its peak fire season.
