Its general temperature and climate classification is [[~~wiki~~:Humid_continental_climate#Koppen_Dfb\|hemiboreal]], although it approaches the [[~~wiki~~:Subarctic_climate\|subarctic]] due to its reduced temperature from lack of sunlight. [[Winter\|Winters]] are cold, though snow is generally seen only in [[Sečen]]; the other winter months are typified by sleet and freezing rain. [[Spring\|Springs]] and [[autumn\|autumns]] are chilly, with temperatures averaging in the low 40°F, and [[summer\|summers]] are mild, averaging in the mid-50°F. Precipitation is common throughout the year but heaviest during the late spring and summer, with thunderstorms common during the month of [[Treven]]. Due to the high humidity and mysterious curse, fog is common throughout the year.
