Brian Brettschneider, a National Weather Service climate scientist at the Alaska region headquarters in Anchorage, said Friday through Sunday, the official three-day average high temperature was 71.3 degrees, the hottest since the summer of 2022. Some parts of the Anchorage Bowl hit 80 degrees.“If you were to pick out the one day or three days for that compared to any given year, it’s not really remarkable,” Brettschneider said.
In other Alaska weather news, Brettschneider said parts of the western interior and southwestern interior are getting thunderstorms. While the rain is good for hindering wildfires, lightning is not. “Definitely something to keep an eye on to see if we’re able to get some more rain to keep those fires in check, or if things kind of heat up and dry out and the fires really start to take off,” he said.A flock of baby geese search for a late evening snack near Reflection Lake on Tuesday, June 18, 2024.
