The primary climate type in the Arctic is classified as polar climate. This climate is characterized by extremely cold temperatures, especially during the long winter months, and short, cool summers. Precipitation is generally low, primarily falling as snow. The Arctic's climate affects the vegetation, with tundra ecosystems dominating the landscape. Adaptations of wildlife and human communities are essential for survival in these harsh conditions. Climate change poses significant challenges to this region, leading to shifts in weather patterns and impacting local ecosystems.
