The climate of Juneau (Alaska
- United States of America)
Juneau is located centrally in Alaska on the Gulf of Alaska and the
Alexander Archipelago. Juneau has a long history. Indians already
lived here centuries before the Common Era started. The Auke people
and the Taku people had a rich culture with decorated handcraft, woven
rugs, art, song and dance. Juneau is still an important center for
these cultures.
Juneau is situated where a cold sea climate changes into a subarctic
climate. The weather here is relatively mild. During the winter it
does not get as cold here as in other parts of Alaska. This is caused
by a tempering effect of the ocean. From November till March large
amounts of snow fall. Summers are relatively cool. There is not much
difference in temperatures between summer and winter.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
