Ok, so I checked the 3 cities you mentioned on weatherspark.com and none of them comes close to that variation, Chicago for example typically goes from -6°C to 28°C, which is not extraordinary at all.
So as I said before there are probably not many places with so big variations. You maybe find some place, but as your own example showed, it's not the rule
Granted that’s the true air temperature, it doesn’t take into account wind chill, water chill, humidity, or the city heat island effect.
Also that’s the average typical temperature per month and averages are a bit poor at showing the typical daily temperatures and the fluctuations throughout even the day.
I mean, the facts doesn't hold much true
This also made me think of all concrete houses built in URSS on places that do get a high variation(Specially on the Stan countries). And we still can see today, houses built more than 70 years ago even with very few upkeeping
Not at all, having lived in such housing I can tell you for a fact they require very diligent maintenance. Especially in areas that have high temperature variation such as Moscow, Minsk, or St Petersburg.
Look even at Ukraine or poorer parts of the Baltic and Belarus. Or even Russia back in the 90’s, those buildings crumbled quickly and looked like bombed out wrecks in just a few years.
Concrete is a good building material, but you can’t just leave it without maintenance, especially for buildings.
I bet they have less maintenance than houses in the west, specially after the fall of USSR
