As for the most northern state, Alaska, Juneau, its capital, has mid-latitude oceanic climate and the very north of the state has arctic climate.
Due to the proximity of the ocean the weather on the Pacific coast is very humid and warm. The mountains are close, and they affect the climate too. There are Washington, Oregon and California.
