Siberia is colder than western Russia due to its continental climate, distance from moderating oceanic influences, and the blocking of warm air masses by mountain ranges.
Siberia is much colder than western Russia primarily due to its continental climate and distance from moderating oceanic influences. The vast landmass of Siberia, located further inland and to the north, experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, with temperatures reaching both very high in summers and extremely low in winters.
The Mountain ranges to the south block warm air masses and summer rains that could reach Siberia, contributing to its colder climate compared to western Russia. This results in Siberia having a harsher winter climate with cold temperatures and limited precipitation.
