The climate of Kodiak (Alaska
- United States of America)
Kodiak was bought by the United States in 1867. This region was
already inhabited centuries prior to the Common Era by the Inuit who
mainly supported themselves by hunting, fishing and the fur trade.
Before the Americans bought this region it was colonized by the
Russians. Nowadays it is a commercial port which attracts tourists who
want to go fishing and hunting.
Because of the influence of the sea there are only few differences in
temperatures between summer and winter. During the winter it is much
warmer here than in other parts of Alaska. However, because of its
location on the sea precipitation figures are high. Most precipitation
falls from October till April and in most cases in the form of snow.

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:
