Popis: On the territory of East Siberia, the positive deviations of mean monthly air temperatures from long-term annual mean air temperatures for the past 30 years (1981–2010) were caused by the shortening of the low-temperature periods. The largest decrease of the number of days with a daily mean temperature below −25 °C is recorded in the southern and middle parts of the macroregion under conditions of a moderate, strong and very strong discomfort. On the other hand, the resulting range of variation in the number of days with a mean daily temperature below −25 °C and the duration of the heating period remain within the long-term values. A slight rise in mean temperature for the heating period entails a marked reduction in degree-days.
