Weather conditions vary only slightly across the country, the lowland regions in the north and east have more continental influenced conditions with colder winters and hotter summers with moderate precipitation throughout the year. The southeastern areas of Austria have longer and warmer, almost Mediterranean-like summers. In the western part of the country the influence of the temperate Atlantic climate is felt more strongly. Consequently, this part is subject to less extreme weather conditions; winters are usually mild and summers rather warm. The west is also characterized by high precipitation.

A black widow specimen from Kenai, taken in September 2013, is now in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge's entomology collection. By Matt Bowser. Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

This April, multiple Alaskan news outlets reported on a large, living, exotic wandering spider (Ctenidae) that was found in a bunch of bananas in Ketchikan.
