Volkia experiences a wide variety of different climates, ranging from oceanic maritime to subarctic and experiences four distinct seasons. 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. The western coast of Volkia is typically the wettest while the southeast experiences the highest temperatures throughout the year.
