Climate

Bystrinsky District has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc). Although the winters are not so cold as in interior Siberia, they are around 8 °C or 14.4 °F colder than on the Pacific coast of Kamchatka at the same latitude, so that discontinuous permafrost underlays the region. Precipitation, however, is much less than on the Pacific coast as the moist winds from the northern side of the Aleutian Low dry out before reaching the region.
