The climate of kamchatka peninsula.

Due to the complex surface structure and several different landforms in kamchatka peninsula, as well as the influence of volcanic activity and adjacent oceans, special climatic conditions different from those in other parts of Russia are formed. There are amazing places all year round: in winter, the cold in the northern part of the peninsula can reach MINUS 50 degrees, and in summer, sometimes you can take a sea bath in the southern part of the island.

The most striking feature of the climate here is that there are many climatic regions and the weather conditions are changeable. The climate in winter is not only very different between coastal areas and inland areas, but also very different within the same climate zone. The coastal areas of kamchatka peninsula are dominated by marine climate, while the inland and northern areas are continental climate. Cyclones have a great influence on the weather formation here, often causing snowfall and long-lasting storms. There is more rainfall here than anywhere else in Russia, but the seasonal distribution of rainfall is very uneven. The annual precipitation in Petropavlovsk area is 16 17mm.
