Kvikkjokk has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc). It is one of the most continental climates of the Nordics, with 20 °C (68 °F) summer highs and −20 °C (−4 °F) winter lows in terms of averages. Areas to its north that share the proximity to the Norwegian border have greater maritime moderation with milder winters and quite a bit cooler summers. Kvikkjokk instead is quite reminiscent of Lapland's largest town Kiruna in terms of climate, only with wider temperature swings. The record low temperature of −43.6 °C (−46.5 °F) was registered on 3 January 2024.^[3][4]
