Serbia is currently experiencing its warmest and driest month in 133 years, and the area has subsequently been ravaged by wildfires.
June 1888 is the last time the Yakutia region experienced a temperature of 38C.
In Winter, temperatures can drop to as low as minus 50C, showing just how hot the region currently is.
Although Siberia has always had a wildfire season, the past two years have been of great concern.
