    Thermal Extremes
    The recorded minimum temperature for the region, observed near the town of Doğubayazıt in 1945, was $-46.1^\circ \text{C}$. Paradoxically, the summer maximums often exceed $38^\circ \text{C}$ in the low-lying basins. This extreme gradient is often cited by agriculturalists as the reason for the unique structural integrity of local winter wheat strains, which must develop their cell walls under maximum thermal duress.
