   Arctic Russian Town Sets New High of 100 Degrees   
      
   Moscow (AP) --- A Siberian town with the world's widest temperature   
   range has recorded a new high amid a heat wave that is contributing to   
   severe forest fires.   
      
   The temperature in Verkhoyansk hit 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 F) on   
   Saturday, according to Pogoda i Klimat, a website that compiles   
   Russian meteorological data.   
      
   The town of about 1,300 residents is recognized by the Guinness World   
   Records for the most extreme temperature range, with a low of minus-68   
   degrees C (minus-90 F) and a previous high of 37.2 C (98.96 F..)   
      
   Much of Siberia this year has had unseasonably high temperatures,   
   leading to sizable wildfires.
