    Default Ukhta is the Coldest city in Europe

    UKHTA, Komi Republic, is the Coldest city in what can be still considered Europe: with a year average temperature of - 0,5 C

    Lat 63.34 N

    Ukhta has a continental subarctic climate with cold winters and short warm summers. Compared with areas at a similar latitude in Siberia, winters are less extreme, but still much longer than summer and bitterly cold by European standards.

    Otherwise, it's the more geographically European city of MURMANSK, Murmansk oblast, the Coldest one with a year average temperature of 0,6 C

    Lat 68.58 N

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murmansk


    Murmansk features a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), with long and cold winters and short, cool summers. In the city, freezing temperatures are routinely experienced from October to May. Average temperatures exceed 0 degrees Celsius only from May through October. The average low during the coldest part of the year in Murmansk is approximately −14 °C (7 °F). However, temperatures routinely plunge below −20 °C (−4 °F) during the winter.

    Murmansk's brief summer is mild, with average highs in July exceeding +17 °C (63 °F). The city is slightly wetter during the summer than the winter and receives an annual average of just under 500 mm (20 in) of precipitation.

    The "midnight sun" is above the horizon from 22 May to 23 July (63 days), and the period with continuous darkness lasts a bit shorter, polar night from 2 December to 10 January (40 days).

    Thought the Coldest city of Russia is NORILSK, Krasnoyarsk krai, but it s in the asiatic part
    With a year average temperature of
    - 9,6 C

    Lat. 69.20 N

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norilsk


    Norilsk is the world's northernmost city with more than 100,000 inhabitants and the second-largest city (after Murmansk) inside the Arctic Circle. Norilsk, Yakutsk and Vorkuta are the only large cities in the continuous permafrost zone. It lies between Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District to the north, and Turukhansky District to the south. Norilsk has an extremely harsh subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), and is covered with snow for about 250–270 days a year, with snow storms for about 110–130 days. The "midnight sun" is above the horizon from 21 May to 24 July, and the period when the sun does not rise, polar night, is from approximately 30 November to 13 January. Temperatures can sometimes rise above 25 °C (77 °F) in July.

    Much of the surrounding areas are naturally treeless tundra. Only a few trees exist in Norilsk.
