WEATHER
CONDITIONS

Weather conditions: |
| The unusually heavy winter snowfalls resulted in the tundra snow cover remaining for four to six weeks longer than in an average year. A mass arrival of waders took place at the beginning of the snow melt. The summer was relatively warm, although July and August experienced almost continuous rain which caused widespread flooding in the river valleys.
