Weather

Arctic Watch is located in a marine environment. This means that the weather can change quickly, as much as 10°C in an hour. Normal daytime temperatures are 6°C to 12°C. On warm days the temperature can go up to 20°C. It can also snow at any time, though the snow never stays on the ground more than a day. A wind from the north coming over the cold ocean is noticeably colder than a wind from the south across the land. Heavy rains are rare; normally Arctic Watch receives light showers and mist.

Temperatures are definitely warmer, particularly in July, and the land is much drier than 10 years ago.
