28 days of HOT

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday [Saturday] the Fairbanks Airport climbed to 81 degrees which marked the 27th day the temperatures have reached 80 degrees or warmer. Today [Sunday] is also on track for temperatures to reach above 80 degrees, with the current temperature of 85 as of 300 PM AKDT. This is this 28th day this summer the temperature has reached 80 degrees or warmer at the airport. The summer of 2013 has tied the second place for the number of days when the temperature has reached or exceeded 80 degrees since reliable temperature records began in 1930. The summer of 1990 also had 28 days.

At 300 PM AKDT, the Fairbanks Airport reached 85 degrees which also sets a new record 12 days this summer for the most number of days that the temperature was 85 degrees or warmer since 1930. The record was recently broken on July 14, 2013 when the Fairbanks Airport reached 87 degrees. The average number of days Fairbanks reaches 85 degrees or warmer is 3

There is a potential this week to tie or beat the record which is 30 days set in the summer of 2004. The average number of days Fairbanks reaches 80 degrees or warmer is 11.

Wow!! I hope this means the winter won't be so cold haha. I feel bad for the glaciers though :(
