Life in Russia's COLDEST CITY - Yakutsk | Yakut habits, heatwave(-35 C°)

Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world with a permanent population. The average temperature in January is -20°C (-4°F), and the coldest temperature ever recorded was -67.8°C (-90.2°F). The people of Yakutsk have adapted to the harsh climate in a number of ways. They wear thick clothing, heat their homes with wood, and keep their cars running even when they are not in use.

One of the most interesting things about life in Yakutsk is the Yakut people's habits. They drink fermented mare's milk, called koumiss, which is said to help them stay warm in the cold. They also bathe in the icy waters of the Lena River, which is said to have health benefits.

In 2020, Yakutsk experienced a heatwave with temperatures reaching -35°C (-31°F). This was considered a heatwave because it was above the average temperature for that time of year. The heatwave caused a number of problems, including power outages and water shortages.
