In Kirov Oblast, on the night from January 22 to 23, the temperature dropped to −35 degrees.

      As reported by the authors of the community page "Amateur Meteorology in Kirov", on the night of January 22–23 air temperatures in a number of settlements were significantly below −30 degrees. Earlier amateur forecasters warned that the night would be extremely cold and temperatures could drop to −31 degrees. However, in some parts of the region the frosts were even stronger. Thus, the lowest reading was recorded in Kirs — the mercury fell to −35 degrees. In Vyatskiye Polyany the temperature was −33.1 degrees, in Uni −32, in Kumeny −31. Below −30 degrees was also recorded in Nolinsk (−30.5) and Kilmez (−30.4). In Yaransk the frost reached −25.4 degrees, in Shabalino −24.6, in Nagorsk −24.4. In Kotelnich the temperature fell to −23.8, in Lalsk to −23.2. In Kirov the night was relatively milder, but still frosty: by 6 a.m. the air temperature was −22 degrees. It was slightly warmer in Oparino (−21.8) and Darovskoy (−19).

The Suna District Prosecutor’s Office in Kirov Region took measures to protect the rights of road users and ensure safety on one of the roads in the settlement of Suna. Nearly 674,000 tonnes of grain were harvested in Kirov Oblast. According to preliminary results of the 2025 harvest campaign, the harvest of cereals and pulses in Kirov Oblast increased by almost 15% compared with last year. Olympia won in a shootout.

Because of Slutsky, in Slobodskoy they broke a fir tree and buried the playground under snow. On January 23, LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky arrived in Slobodskoy. Scientists from the Laboratory of Astrochemistry at Ural Federal University have made an important discovery: they found “laughing gas” — nitrous oxide (N2O) — in interstellar ices. The results were published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.

Its abundance ranged from 0.2% to 2.1% relative to CO ice. This is the first reliable confirmation that N2O is indeed present in interstellar ices and occurs there fairly widely. More than 300 molecules are already known in the gas phase of interstellar clouds, but finding them in ices is much more difficult — until now scientists had been able to confidently identify only eight. Nitrous oxide is now the ninth such molecule. Researchers also reported preliminary signs of another molecule — isocyanic acid (HNCO). To identify N2O, the team compared James Webb Space Telescope data with laboratory spectra of ice grown on the ISEAge setup. This helped to accurately interpret the observations and confirm the finding. The discovery is important because nitrous oxide can react more readily at very low temperatures than molecular nitrogen (N2). It can participate in the formation of more complex nitrogen-containing compounds — including those from which amino acids could later form. Interestingly, half of the protostars with detected N2O are located in the Orion A star-forming region. Scientists suggest that strong ultraviolet radiation in this region may influence the formation of this molecule, but the exact mechanisms remain to be determined. * Protostar — a young star in the process of formation, surrounded by gas and dust. Interstellar ice — a thin icy mantle on particles of cosmic dust in cold clouds. Reactions can occur in it that help create more complex molecules potentially important for the origin of life. In Kirov, work continues to remove hazardous trees and wild undergrowth. According to the landscaping directorate, today crews worked on Shironintsev Street — the work was prompted by residents' complaints about an overgrown maple tree.
