The average annual precipitation in Fort Yukon was 6.57 inches from 1938 -1990. The average annual snowfall for the same location and period was 41.9 inches. Despite its low annual precipitation, the refuge maintains plant growth typical of more temperate regions. This is possible because of the frozen subsoil and low evaporation rate typical of the arctic.
