These people live in a very bad place.
Quote:
In Verkhoyansk, an Russian town of just 1,300 residents that sits north of the Arctic Circle, the first day of summer was a doozy: temperatures peaked at 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit on June 20. It was probably the hottest day ever in the town’s history, which has kept records since 1885, reports Andrew Freedman for the Washington Post.
...
Verkhoyansk is recognized by the Guinness World Records as having the most extreme temperature range, which can dip down to minus 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the dead of winter and up to 98.96 in the summer, according to the Associated Press. As Alejandra Borunda reports for National Geographic, the Arctic has witnessed extreme heat before—Verkhoyansk recorded a 99.1 degree day in 1988, for example.

From that point of view, I think the folks in Begas have got it pretty good.
