fairbanks weather

[shelby101]

We will be in fairbanks on the 29th of this month, and I have been watching the weather and it seems really warm with no rain for the next 10 days. I sure hope it is that nice when we get there.

Fairbanks in the part of Alaska known as arctic desert...it should be pretty dry there.

The daylight hours in Fairbanks are almost 20 hours . By the start of June you'll notice bee's buzzing at midnight . There will be little darkness this time of year.

It's 48 in Denver and Fairbanks has a predicted high of 82!!! :eek: Wish I was there now!

Folks visiting Fairbanks are often surprised that a community so far north has such warm summers. But even when the temperatures reach highs in the 80s and 90s the temps generally cool off at night. But we also certainly can have cold rainy days too, and given how dry we are currently, those of us who live here are rather concerned about forest fires this summer.

Living in Colorado I can identify with the forest fire concerns. I hope for the best for those in Alaska.

Living in BC I can understand about forest fires. In 2013 we had a major fire right in town. Also at one point we had four major fires burning within 50 miles.

Thanks for the info everyone.

Happy sailing.

shelby: The official high in Fairbanks was 85F yesterday, but today has been cooler with highs predicted for the mid-70sF. Showers are predicted to arrive tomorrow, which we desperately need as it is extremely dry. Alaska Fire Service has issued a red flag warning for essentially all of Interior Alaska (i.e., extreme fire danger). Our National Weather Service local office is predicting highs in the mid-70s with chance of showers through the end of this week.
