Detailed explanation-1: -In the north, winters are long and cold with lots of snow, and summers are short. Along the north coast, there is a lot of rain in the spring, summer and fall, and the winters are cold.
Detailed explanation-2: -The subarctic climate is continental-cold. Summers are short and cool with a mean July temperature of 10°C. Annual precipitation is 20 to 50 cm (Arno 1984). Soils are well-drained to somewhat poorly-drained and develop on gravels, loess, or bedrock.
Detailed explanation-3: -The subarctic climate has brief, cool summers and bitterly cold winters. The subarctic experiences the lowest temperatures outside of Antarctica, and the largest annual temperature range of any climate. Though the summer is short, the day length is quite long with June days lasting 18.8 hrs at 60oN.
Detailed explanation-4: -The subarctic climate (also called subpolar climate, or boreal climate) is a climate with long, cold (often very cold) winters, and short, warm to cool summers.
