Since Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located closer to the poles than the equator, it has dry and very clod weather almost all year round. Some of the variables that affect its climate is the presence of the sea of Okhtsok, which can lower temperatures in the summer and raise them in the winter. Also, the mountain area located at high elevations can cool the climate significantly.
