==Administrative vs. municipal jurisdiction== Until July 2008, Alkatvaam was a part of both Beringovsky Municipal and Beringovsky Administrative District. In May 2008, Beringovsky Municipal District was merged into Anadyrsky Municipal District<ref name="Merger">Law #41, Article 1.4</ref> (the administrative centre of which is Anadyr); however, this change did not affect the borders of Beringovsky Administrative District. Alkatvaam continued to belong administratively to the latter until June 2011, when Beringovsky Administrative District was merged into Anadyrsky Administrative District and ceased to exist.

==Climate== Alkatvaam has a polar climate (Köppen climate classification ''ET'')<ref>McKnight and Hess, pp.235–7</ref> with bitterly cold, very long and snowy winters and cool, short summers. {{Weather box |width=auto |metric first=yes |single line=yes |location= Alkatvaam |Jan record high C=3.3 |Feb record high C=3.4 |Mar record high C=5.4 |Apr record high C=4.6 |May record high C=9.1 |Jun record high C=22.8 |Jul record high C=27.4 |Aug record high C=27.5 |Sep record high C=17.7 |Oct record high C=10.8 |Nov record high C=6.2 |Dec record high C=1.8 |year record high C=27.5 |Jan high C=-13.0 |Feb high C=-14.5 |Mar high C=-13.2 |Apr high C=-7.7 |May high C=0.3 |Jun high C=7.9 |Jul high C=12.6 |Aug high C=11.8 |Sep high C=6.4 |Oct high C=-0.9 |Nov high C=-8.1 |Dec high C=-11.1 |year high C=-2.5 |Jan mean C = -14.9 |Feb mean C = -16.3 |Mar mean C = -15.0 |Apr mean C = -9.8 |May mean C = -1.3 |Jun mean C = 5.3 |Jul mean C = 9.8 |Aug mean C = 9.4 |Sep mean C = 4.3 |Oct mean C = -2.7 |Nov mean C = -10.0 |Dec mean C = -13.0 |year mean C = -4.5 |Jan low C=-16.7 |Feb low C=-18.0 |Mar low C=-16.8 |Apr low C=-11.8 |May low C=-2.9 |Jun low C=2.6 |Jul low C=6.9 |Aug low C=6.9 |Sep low C=2.2 |Oct low C=-4.5 |Nov low C=-11.9 |Dec low C=-14.8 |year low C=-6.6 |Jan record low C=-34.1 |Feb record low C=-32.8 |Mar record low C=-31.0 |Apr record low C=-25.0 |May record low C=-16.9 |Jun record low C=-3.4 |Jul record low C=0.4 |Aug record low C=0.0 |Sep record low C=-7.9 |Oct record low C=-21.0 |Nov record low C=-27.0 |Dec record low C=-32.0 |year record low C=-34.1 |precipitation colour=green |Jan precipitation mm=57 |Feb precipitation mm=39 |Mar precipitation mm=24 |Apr precipitation mm=27 |May precipitation mm=27 |Jun precipitation mm=27 |Jul precipitation mm=39 |Aug precipitation mm=60 |Sep precipitation mm=60 |Oct precipitation mm=54 |Nov precipitation mm=66 |Dec precipitation mm=63 |year precipitation mm=543 |Jan snow days=19 |Feb snow days=14 |Mar snow days=15 |Apr snow days=15 |May snow days=17 |Jun snow days=3 |Jul snow days=0 |Aug snow days=0 |Sep snow days=4 |Oct snow days=17 |Nov snow days=20 |Dec snow days=20 |year snow days=144 |source 1= <ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.meoweather.com/history/Russian%20Federation/na/63.2333333/179.0833333/Alkatvaam.html |title=Weather Averages — Alkatvaam |publisher=www.meoweather.com |accessdate=June 29, 2012 }}</ref> }}
