Temperatures are already close to 90 degrees near the Arctic Circle, while wildfires rage in Canada’s interior provinces.

It’s only May, and temperatures near the Arctic Circle in northwestern Russia are approaching 90 degrees. In Moscow, temperatures have shattered records on consecutive days.

On Thursday, the mercury surged to 87.8 degrees in Naryan-Mar, Russia, a town near the Arctic Ocean and almost 1,000 miles northeast of Moscow. The temperature shattered the previous monthly record of 82 degrees, according to Serge Zaka, a meteorologist in France.
