It’s been a cool summer so far in Alaska and fairly wet. While a good part of the globe has baked, Alaska has been pretty mild across the state.
Fairbanks had its coolest July in 25 years. So far this summer, we have not gone above 81F.
It’s a trend that has continued after a very chilly winter.
Fairbanks will officially see two sunsets today. One of our many quirks.
Fairbanks officially reached 70 degrees for the first time this season on Wednesday.
It’s the 11th latest date for hitting that mark since record keeping began.
A continuation of what was a very cool month of May for Interior Alaska.
Sunday morning was the first day of the season for it to drop below zero at the cabin.
Thursday morning we saw our first -20F.
Well, Fairbanks did not get through September without a hard frost. The thermometer read a very solid 20F in the Goldstream Valley.
Late afternoon I visited the bus to drain the water tank, and the frost was still on the ground.
Winter is around the corner.
