The 1908 Tunguska event in data of the nearest weather station

Andrei Ol'khovatov, 2026. arXiv:2608.19288.

Discusses the weather log of the Kezhma station, about 215 km south of the epicentre, and eyewitness accounts from Kezhma and the Angara, including the observer's note of "two huge fiery circles"; the log shows a sharp increase in cloud and rain and thunderstorms in early July. The author reads the data as consistent with a geophysical cause.
