- Fewer clouds in Interior Alaska than elsewhere in the state means more warming by the sun during the long days of summer.
- Sundogs are "mock suns" seen as bright, rainbow-hued spots on opposite sides of the winter sun.
- Chinooks are unseasonably warm winds that occur in the middle of winter.
- Precipitation is light in Alaska's Interior as air masses lose their moisture crossing the Alaska Range to the south.
