Yakutsk Travel Forum

I'm considering a visit to Yakutsk, Russia to see what it's like. I know it can be warm in summers(average high 75 degrees F), but I'm wondering how warm. How often does it get above 80 degrees F in the summer? Can it get warm enough to swim in the river? Is it safe to swim in the Lena River? I've heard it can get above 90. How often does this occur?

i've never been in Yakutia but i have neighbours in student building when i studied. They told that it happens often that weather is +30+35 in summer time but in the same time Lena River has+14+17. once again i hadn't any experience about, just story.

Of course all above is in Celsius, not in Fahrenheit ;-))) LOL!

oh yes, of course, all temperature in Celcius :-)))
so +30+35C is 86-95Faround and +14+17C means 57-63F around
