Weather Predictions for Yakutia by Yakuthydrometer
Yakutia, the largest region in Russia, is set to experience a significant change in weather patterns this week, with temperatures reaching summer heat levels for the first time this season. According to Tatyana Marshalik, head of the Yakutia Hydrometeorological Center, the summer heat will begin from today [4].
This shift comes after a chilly first half of July, with temperatures below average for the season. In fact, June was unusually cold, 1-2 degrees below normal, as stated by Marshalik [1]. The last time Yakutia experienced such cold weather was 10 years ago, in 2015 and 2016 [2].
Despite long-term forecasts suggesting temperatures should be above normal for July, the reality has not yet materialised. However, by the end of the week, almost the entire territory of Yakutia will have temperatures in the range of 25-30, and even above 27-32 degrees [2]. Normal hot weather in Yakutia is expected to begin from today [4].
The Yakutia Hydrometeorological Center is responsible for weather forecasting and monitoring in the region. According to their preliminary forecasts, August in Yakutia should be normal, with temperatures within the climatic norm [1]. However, Marshalik's statement suggests a deviation from the usual summer weather pattern in Yakutia this year [1].
The second half of July 2025 in Yakutia, specifically in Yakutsk, is expected to be warm but wet. The maximum temperatures are forecasted to reach around 31°C on July 23, with minimum temperatures dropping to around 14°C on July 26 and 27 [1][2]. There will be frequent precipitation, with about 18 days of rain expected in the next 30 days [1].
The region has been experiencing abnormal cyclone activity and resulting flooding, especially affecting northeastern parts of Yakutia near the Indigirka River. Flood warnings are in place, and emergency protocols have been activated in some districts due to rising river levels and heavy rains [3].
During this period, humidity levels vary throughout the day but tend to be moderate to high due to frequent precipitation. UV levels can fluctuate but are generally low to moderate given cloud cover from rain [1][2].
If you plan to be in Yakutia during this time, it would be advisable to prepare for rain and possible disruptions related to flood conditions. As the weather patterns continue to be unusual, it's important to stay informed and follow any weather alerts or advisories issued by local authorities.
