MOSCOW — 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 kilometres) east of Moscow — students routinely go to school even in minus 40 degrees. But school was cancelled Tuesday throughout the region and police ordered parents to keep their children inside.
