As far as non-arid climates warmer than subarctic climates go, Imeni Poliny Osipenko is as cold as it gets, due to its low latitude and inland location enabling for the extended summers and four months to just go above 10 °C (50 °F). Winters are far colder than even many polar climates in maritime areas.
