Answer: (Answers may vary.)

I used this website, that provides US climate data, to obtain climate data for Barrow, Alaska. This part of Alaska has a tundra biome with the following conditions:

Annual high temperature: -8.2°C

Annual low temperature: -14.2°C

Average temperature: -11.2°C

Average annual precipitation (rainfall): 115 mm

Average annual snowfall: 990 mm

Barrow is covered in ice and snow for nine months of the year. During spring, millions of birds return to the area from their southern wintering grounds. Thousands of bowhead and beluga whales also migrate through the area in spring. In this region, the warm and wet period only runs from July to August. Most plants grow during this time. Food is scarce during the coldest period, which runs from December to March. During this time, many animals hibernate to survive.
