Early summer
May. 14th, 2015 03:43 pmFAIRBANKS — Summer is here, and it’s even a bit ahead of schedule this year.
The temperature at Fairbanks International Airport hit 70 degrees for the first time on Wednesday, a milestone that should kick off a significant stretch of warm weather in the Interior.
The first 70-degree day came a week early, compared to the average arrival on May 20. However, it didn’t quite get to the record of 76 degrees, set in 1930.
National Weather Service meteorologist Ben Bartos said a ridge of warm weather is heading into Interior Alaska and the Yukon, bringing rising temperatures with it. The forecast calls for weekend temperatures in the mid- to high 70s, with only slightly cooler weather forecast after that.
Temperatures could possibly hit 80 degrees this weekend in the Eastern Interior, with the hottest areas between Tok and the Canada border.
“It’s hanging on for the foreseeable future,” Bartos said.
Wow, it got warm fast! I hope it doesn't get in the 80s though, it makes my apartment feel like an oven. D: I'm really thankful the pollen has been mild too, last year mom and I were so miserable..
I'm listening to the new Kamelot album, I'm really enjoying it so far, especially "Citizen Zero" :D
