[[File:Volkia Biomes.png|thumb|left|200px|{{wp|Köppen climate classification}} types of Volkia.]]Volkia as a whole experiences a wide variety of different climates, ranging from oceanic maritime to subarctic. The western and southern coasts are fully exposed to the Sea of Itur's storm fronts and as such have more precipitation and milder winters than the country's north. Some areas around the Iturian Mountains are within a rain shadow, and as such receive less precipitation than the rest of the country.

Volkia has several climate zones but is mostly temperate, ranging from oceanic in the west and continental throughout the north and south. Winters range from cold and snowy to mild and generally overcast with little precipitation in the north, while summers tend to be cool and rainy. The country's western regions have prevailing westerly winds that bring in moist air from the Sea of Itur, moderating the region's temperature and increasing the amount of precipitation. A small area of the country's south, mostly [[Lopatino Oblast]], has hot summers and cool winters and has less precipitation than the west. The north experiences the most extreme temperatures.
