Kamloops50 Posted May 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DentoAlaska Posted May 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's 48 in Denver and Fairbanks has a predicted high of 82!!! :eek: Wish I was there now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted May 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Northern Aurora Posted May 25, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
