シベリア高気圧
The climate is hypercontinental sub-humid or semi-arid, with the Köppen classifications "BSk" or in the extreme east, "Dwa" or "Dwb". The region features warm summers with decreasing rainfall from east to west, alongside frigid, extremely dry winters. Being relatively dry, from a combination of being landlocked and the proximity of the Siberian High, only select animals can live here.
