Some of us have felt the chill recently when temperatures in the tropical paradise of Udon Thani reportedly hit 9c 48f but spare a thought for residents in a remote part of Russia where temperatures plunged to minus 88.6f !
Not many there venturing out in Chang t-shirts and shorts......
MOSCOW (AP) — Even thermometers can't keep up with the plunging temperatures in Russia's remote Yakutia region, which hit minus 67 degrees Celsius (minus 88.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas Tuesday.
In Yakutia — a region of 1 million people about 3,300 miles (5,300 kilometers) east of Moscow — students routinely go to school even in minus 40 degrees. But school was canceled Tuesday throughout the region and police ordered parents to keep their children inside.
In the village of Oymyakon, one of the coldest inhabited places on earth, state-owned Russian television showed the mercury falling to the bottom of a thermometer that was only set up to measure down to minus 50 degrees. In 2013, Oymyakon recorded an all-time low of minus 71 degrees Celsius (minus 98 Fahrenheit).
Over the weekend, two men froze to death when they tried to walk to a nearby farm after their car broke down. Three other men with them survived because they were wearing warmer clothes, investigators reported.

get with the times "global warming" is a myth spread by carbon tax alarmists. it's called climate change . and that's weather by the way, cold here , sunny there , raining over there Meteorologist tell you what temp it is and how your weather will be today and the next few days. Climatologists don't study daily weather and give you a report
