Yenisey River
The Ob and Yenisey river basins and their drainage networks.
The climate of the Yenisey River basin varies significantly between its northern and southern regions, resulting in distinct summer temperature profiles:
- Northern Basin: This area experiences a subarctic climate where even the summer months remain cool. In July, average temperatures typically range from 46 to 54 °F (8 to 12 °C), and frosts can still occur during this time.1
- Southern Basin: In contrast, the southern portion of the basin features markedly continental conditions, leading to warmer summers. July average temperatures in the south are significantly higher, generally ranging between 64 and 68 °F (18 and 20 °C).1
