Winters are brutal (down to -30°C or -40°C); summers barely rise above 0°C. Precipitation: Very low (200–300 mm), mostly snow.

Because Russia is the largest country in the world, its climate isn't just "cold"—it’s a massive spectrum ranging from Arctic deserts to humid subtropics. If you are filling out a table for your 8th-grade geography assignment, 1. Arctic Climate (Арктический)
