Locations near the sea are characterized by relatively small seasonal temperature variability with high humidity. Locations further inland are cut off from the moderating influence of the waters. These area experience a large daily and annual temperature range, low humidity and relatively light and irregular precipitation. The altitude above sea level also has a major influence on weather. Lower elevations in interior Alaska experience extreme cold in the winter as well as high summertime temperatures. In other parts of the state, such as the southern coast, locations at high elevations receive much higher precipitation and temperatures are generally cooler.
