Day 3

Today is day number three of my exciting trip to the tundra. Today, I'm thinking about studying the weather of this biome. Some basic info is that the main seasons are Winter and Summer. Spring and Fall are short periods between the main seasons. The average annual temperature of this area is -18*(F) or -28*(C). The tundra is also one of the world's most coldest and driest biomes, dispite all the snow. Winters can get cold as -94*(F) or -70*(C). Summers get as hot as 54*(F) or 12*(C). This is also a very windy place, with winds ranging from 30-60 mph winds. Luckily, I'm currently here in the middle of July, which means that the temeperature isn't too extreme. When I thought i making a climatogram, I realized that in only going to be here for FIVE days. So, here's one from the net:


Well, today wasn't a very productive day. I was hoping to get out and explore some more. I still look forward to my next day here.
