Ust-Shchuger has a subarctic climate (Dfc) with mild to warm summers and severely cold winters. It holds the European low temperature record of −58.1 °C (−72.6 °F), recorded on December 31, 1978.[5] In spite of this, winter averages are less severe than areas on similar and lower latitudes further east across the Siberian boundary. Winters are very snowy due to a humid influence, causing a vast snow pack that lasts well into spring.
