General Questions

Q. What will the weather be like?

Kodiak Island enjoys generally mild coastal weather with moderate precipitation and occasional high winds.  During the summer months the days are long and temperatures comfortable. Experienced fishermen prepare for their trips by dressing in layers because the weather can change quickly during a fishing trip. Rain is always a possibility, but don't worry, it is typically a light rain and a drizzle once in a while.

Duck and big game hunters should expect colder temperatures ranging from a low of 5 degrees in the morning to somewhere just above freezing during the heat of the day.
