Best Answer

A tundra climate is a transitional climate between the Subarctic and Ice cap climates. Polar climates like the tundra are characterized by generally dry conditions and very cold temperatures. Temperatures rarely ever rise above 10o C during the summer. Some tundras experiences times when the sun never rises above the horizon.

It's a treeless area having a permanently frozen subsoil and supporting low-growing vegetation such as lichens, mosses, and stunted shrubs. Tundra regions are near the poles in countries like Russia and Canada.
The average temperature in summer is 50 degrees Fahrenheit and under. The average temperature in winter is -28 to -58 degrees Fahrenheit.
