Anadyr has a mediterranean-influenced subarctic climate.
Short, cool summers and long, cold winters — here's what that means in plain terms.
What this climate feels like
The four things a regular visitor actually wants to know:
Highs near 16°C in July.
Lows near −26°C in January. About 241 freezing nights a year.
About 380 mm of rain a year. Wettest in February.
Cloudy skies much of the year.
What "mediterranean-influenced subarctic" means
Climate scientists sort every place on Earth into about 30 climate types, based on how hot, cold, wet and dry it is across the year. Anadyr's type — mediterranean-influenced subarctic — sits in the broad family of four-season continental climates.
Researchers write climate types as a short letter code. Here is what each letter means:
Cities with the same climate as Anadyr
A mediterranean-influenced subarctic climate (Dsc) — these recognizable cities share it. If you know one of them, you know roughly what to expect.
Anadyr sits near a climate boundary
This city sits right on the line between mediterranean-influenced subarctic and the next type along. Different climate maps file it on different sides of that line; the lived weather doesn't change at the line — it's a naming boundary, not a wall.
Has Anadyr's climate type changed?
A climate type is a coarse bucket. It can hold steady for years while the weather inside it shifts — or tip into the next bucket.
What this climate means for you
A very short growing season; heating dominates the year.
Where these numbers come from
The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Anadyr's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Anadyr's main climate page, so the two always agree.
Long-range climate maps measure things slightly differently and can place a city in a neighbouring category. Where they differ, this page uses the measured station record as the climate today.
Methodology & sources
Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Anadyr, a weather station, about 6 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
