Very Cold!

The climate in Yellowknife or almost anywhere in the NWT is usually very cold and dry with summers not getting above 25°C (77°F) and winters getting down to -40°C (-40°F), although the summers are very sunny. Yellowknife is located in the Taiga Shield ecozone which can reflect some of the temperatures found there because it is so far north. Yellowknife is also located closest to the Nahanni National Park. Yellowknife's main businesses are mining and believe it or not trucking. Mining is such a big business in Yellowknife and all around it because of the high amount of gold that can be found in the area. there are also traces of copper, tungsten, and even uranium that may be found. Trucking is also a very large industry because the roads, especially during the winter, can become very icy and dangerous for the average "trucker" to deliver goods on. Yellowknife's main source of tourism comes from the Wildcat Cafe ,which is now considered a heritage site, and the surprisingly high amount of very nice, state-of-the-art buildings that are located in and around Yellowknife. From the huge multiplex which houses twin-pad area, a gymnastics club, a gymnasium, etc. Yellowknife is a fairly wealthy city.
