FAIRBANKS — As if the smoke from nearly 100 wildfires isn’t proof enough, the numbers are in and it’s official: May was warmer and drier than normal.

The average temperature of 54 degrees was 4.5 degrees above normal, which made it the third-warmest May on record in more than 100 years in Fairbanks, according to the National Weather Service’s monthly weather summary.

The only years with a warmer May were 1990 and 2005.

Temperatures were close to average for the first two weeks of the month before taking off. The average daily temperature was above normal for the last 18 days of the month.

The high temperature of the month was 82 degrees on May 27, which broke the previous record of 80 degrees set in 1990. The temperature of 80 degrees on May 26 tied the record.

The average high temperature in May was 67 degrees at Fairbanks International Airport and the average low was 41 degrees.

It was also much drier than normal in May, though nowhere close to a record. A total of 0.24 inches of precipitation was measured at the airport during the month, which was a little more than one-third of the normal 0.60 inches of precipitation for the month. The driest May on record was last year with 0.05 inches of precipitation.

The low temperature for the month was 29 degrees on May 6 and there were a total of five nights when the temperature fell to or below the freezing mark. The last freezing temperature of the season — so far — was on May 14, which is close to the average date for the last freeze at the airport.

Despite ranking as the third-warmest May on record, the month also went down as one of the rare Mays in which measurable snow fell at the airport. One-tenth of an inch of snow fell on May 5. It was the first measurable snow in May since 2002.

The May snowfall nudged the season total to 24.9 inches, the third-lowest on record in Fairbanks.

Wow...it sounds like May was a pretty nice month! Minus the freak May snowstorm haha. I think the warmest it got here was 73 degrees (for the coastal areas...it definitely got hotter inland). They were saying that this was a rather cold May for California. Role reversals! Haha.

I'd rather be known as a thief too.
