===Climate===
Anaktuvuk Pass has a typical [[subarctic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''Dfc'') bordering on a [[tundra climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''ET''), with the average temperature in January {{convert|-13.4|F}} while the warmest month, July, averages {{convert|50.3|F}}. Temperatures have ranged from  {{convert|-47|to|91|F}}. Anaktuvuk Pass receives about {{convert|11|in|abbr=on}} of rain yearly, with snowfall averaging about {{convert|63|in|cm|abbr=on}}. The area is known for its intense winds and 50-below winters and the generic, framed houses built there in the 1970s. The houses are inefficient for such a climate, according to a ''Fairbanks Daily News Miner'' story. On June 28, 1971, the temperature fell to a record summer low of {{convert|-11|F}},<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliGCStT.pl?ak0270|title = ANAKTUVUK AUTO, ALASKA Period of Record General Climate Summary - Temperature}}</ref> though the data for that year is extremely sparse. The climate record as a whole is irregular, with data compiled only between 1953 and 1973, with most observations in the 1950s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMeta2.pl?ak0270|title = POR - Station Metadata #2, ANAKTUVUK AUTO, ALASKA}}</ref>
