Vladivostok has reached a new milestone in its weather history, setting a 30-year high-temperature record on Sunday. The city soared to 14 degrees Celsius, surpassing the previous record for this date by 0.9 degrees Celsius, according to the Primorye Hydrometeorology Center.
The unusually warm Sunday featured nighttime temperatures ranging between 5 and 7 degrees Celsius, while daytime temperatures peaked at 14 degrees Celsius. This achievement broke the longstanding record set in 1994, highlighting the ongoing warming trends in the region.
Despite the heat, the weekend remained relatively calm with only light mist observed overnight and no significant precipitation. The exceptional temperatures in Vladivostok serve as a stark reminder of the broader climatic shifts affecting Russia and the world.
Experts suggest that such temperature anomalies could have implications for local ecosystems, infrastructure, and daily life. As global temperatures continue to rise, regions like Vladivostok may experience more frequent and severe weather events, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable practices and climate resilience.
