Check the live forecast above before making any plans for Yakutsk, because this Siberian city endures some of the most extreme temperatures on Earth, with winter lows that can drop below minus forty.
What is the best time to visit Yakutsk?
If you are travelling for business or culture, the most practical months are June, July and August. During this brief summer the temperature can reach the low twenties, making it possible to explore the city’s museums and the Permafrost Kingdom without the risk of frostbite. Winter visits are for the truly adventurous, and you must pack multiple thermal layers, a thick down coat and insulated boots.
What should I know about the climate and value?
Yakutsk weather in summer offers a short window of comfortable conditions, but flights and accommodation are often more expensive during July. For better value, consider late May or early September, though you will then need to prepare for colder weather in Yakutsk 10 days out. School holidays in the UK do not affect this remote destination, so book when you find a reliable fare.
How does Yakutsk compare to Oymyakon?
Oymyakon weather is even more severe; it is often called the coldest permanently inhabited place. Yakutsk is a large city with better infrastructure, but both sit in the same extreme Siberian region.
Can I check a longer forecast?
