[[File:Volkia Biomes.png|thumb|left|200px|{{wp|Köppen climate classification}} types of Volkia.]]Winters in southern Volkia (when mean daily temperature remains below 0 °C or 32 °F) are usually about 100 days long, and in the inland the snow typically covers the land from about late November to April, and on the coastal areas such as [[Izumrud]], snow often covers the land from late December to late March. Even in the south, the harshest winter nights can see the temperatures fall to −30 °C (−22 °F) although on coastal areas like Izumrud, temperatures below −30 °C (−22 °F) are very rare. Climatic summers (when mean daily temperature remains above 10 °C or 50 °F) in southern Volkia last from about late May to mid-September, and in the inland, the warmest days of July can reach over 35 °C (95 °F). Although much of Volkia lies on the {{wp|taiga}} belt, the southernmost coastal regions are sometimes classified as hemiboreal.
 
In northern Volkia, particularly in [[KologorskNorindzhik Oblast|Kologorsk]]and Kurilsk, the winters are long and cold, while the summers are relatively warm but short. The most severe winter days in KologorskNorindzhik can see the temperature fall down to −45 °C (−49 °F). The winter of the extreme north lasts for about 200 days with permanent snow cover from about mid-October to early May. Summers in the north are quite short, only two to three months, but can still see maximum daily temperatures above 25 °C (77 °F) during heat waves. Norindzhik Oblast and, Kurilsk Oblast, and parts of Kologorsk have a tundra climate.
 
The Volkian climate is suitable for cereal farming in the southern regions, while the northern regions are suitable for {{wp|animal husbandry}}.
