TRUTH !!
The weather on Attu is typically cloudy, rainy, and foggy. High winds occur
occasionally. Five or six days a week are likely to be rainy, and there are
only about eight to ten clear days a year. The rest of the time, even if
rain is not falling, fog of varying density is the rule rather than the
exception. There are 39–49 inches (990–1,240 mm) of annual rainfall and
other precipitation, with the heaviest rains in the autumn and early winter.
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Attu has an
ocean-moderated subarctic climate (Dfc/Cfc) closely bordering on a tundra
climate (ET) For its latitude the climate is exceptionally chilly, with
daytime maximum temperatures averaging mid-50s (ºF) in summer.
