Climate edit
With an intensely continental subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification Dfc, bordering Dfd), Zhilinda has severely cold winters and mild summers. Average monthly temperatures in Zhilinda range from +14.3 °C (57.7 °F) in July to −36.4 °C (−33.5 °F) in January.
The climate is quite dry, with most of the annual precipitation occurring in the summer months, due to the intense Siberian High forming around the very cold continental air during the winter. However, summer precipitation is not heavy since the moist southeasterly winds from the Pacific Ocean lose their moisture over the coastal mountains well before reaching Zhilinda.
Zhilinda dipped to −79.8 °C (−111.6 °F) on Jan 10 2023, its lowest January temperature on record. It marked the lowest temperature in Siberia since 2002.
