Kodiak Island has a strong marine influence that dictates the weather and climate. There is little or no freezing weather, moderate precipitation, occasional high winds, and frequent cloud cover and fog.

During the summer months (June, July, August and September) the low temperature rarely dips below 40 degrees and the high temperatures may reach the mid 70’s. Average temperature is 55 degrees.

During the longest day of the year – June 21 – Kodiak receives approximately 20.5 hours of light with darkness beginning at 12:31AM and ending at 3:48AM. Keep in mind that this is the most extreme day, and that before and after June 21 that each day is about 10 minutes shorter.

Rain and wind are common weather phenomenon that we deal with on a daily basis. A good raincoat and windbreaker are a necessity on every days outing – even if there isn’t a cloud in the sky. The weather can change quickly here so it is a good idea to always be prepared.
