Detailed explanation-1: -Russia’s climate ranges from steppes in the south through humid continental in much of European Russia, and subarctic in Siberia to tundra climate in the polar north. Winters vary from cool along the Black Sea coast to frigid in Siberia. Summers vary from warm in the steppes to cool along the Arctic coast.

Detailed explanation-2: -The subarctic climate (also called subpolar climate, or boreal climate) is a climate with long, cold (often very cold) winters, and short, warm to cool summers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Siberia: tundra. Siberia, its name derived from the Tatar term for “sleeping land, ‘’ is notorious for the length and severity of its almost snowless winters: in Sakha, minimum temperatures of −90 °F (−68 °C) have been recorded. The climate becomes increasingly harsh eastward, while precipitation also diminishes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The five main groups are A (tropical), B (dry), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). All climates except for those in the E group are assigned a seasonal precipitation sub-group (second letter).
