I assume by that you mean >=22C warmest month and <10C 4th warmer month? Yeah, I don't think that exists. Wonder what would come closest in terms of cities with the greatest difference between the 1st and 4th warmest month.
12.8C Vilyuysk, Russia (18.7C & 5.9C)
12.3C Verkhoyansk, Russia (16.5C & 4.2C)
12.1C Tura, Russia (17.2C & 5.1C)
11.9C Yakutsk, Russia (19.9C & 8.0C)
11.8C Oymyakon (15.3C & 3.5C)
11.7C Nyurba, Russia (17.2C & 5.5C)
11.6C Lensk, Russia (17.7C & 6.1C)
11.6C Baykit, Russia (17.0C & 5.4C)
11.5C Neryungri, Russia (16.5C & 5.0C)
11.5C Vanavara, Russia (17.8C & 6.3C)
It seems like it's only eastern Siberia that can pull off these sorts of abrupt summers where temperatures rise by >40F from April to June and drop by >40F from August to October. In Alaska and Canada, the changes between those two pairs of months are only around 30F.
But with 2-4C of warming, maybe you could see some of these eastern Siberian towns attain a Hot-Summer Subarctic classification?
Vilyuysk is deep deep deep into the permafrost zone, but its July temperatures are similar to mine. Their Octobers are already colder than my Januaries and their record low for May is colder than my record low for November. And my climate is hardly oceanic, it's properly continental...
