The Continental climate zone is found in central Alaska and is characterized by large temperature differences between summer and winter. Winters are cold, with average temperatures below freezing. Summers are warm, with average temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Precipitation is moderate, and falls as both rain and snow.

The Marine West Coast climate zone is found in southeastern Alaska and is characterized by mild, wet weather. Winters are cool, with average temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Summers are mild, with average temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Precipitation is high, and falls mostly as rain.
