Autumn colors don't last long in Interior Alaska, but while we've got them it is gorgeous. Sunday morning FAA webcam view at Central (Gwich'in Dene country, northeast of Fairbanks) after some ground fog had dissipated. #akwx #Autumn #AlaskaSky @[email protected] @[email protected]

Sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas continues melt, with the combined extent slightly higher than last year but well below the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data. The higher concentration sea ice north of the northeast Alaska coast is an area of thicker multi-year ice that moved southwest in the spring from the Canadian High Arctic in the ocean currents. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

The rain returns. "Real" rain not until Monday night/Tuesday, but cloudy is good too. 😉

August temperatures averaged above normal over most of Alaska except in Southcentral and Southwest Alaska, where the monthly average was close to normal. Southeast Alaska was especially warm, with both Juneau and Petersburg having a "top ten" warmest August. #akwx #Climate #Summer2026

Sea surface temperature departures from the 1991-2020 baseline in the seas around Alaska. Gulf of Alaska near to above normal. The Eastern Bering and most of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas cooler than normal except for some nearshore warmth. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

I'm late this morning because....boring weather!
But RAIN is in the forecast.
I'll believe it when I see it. Sigh.

Fairbanks airport first freeze of the autumn on Thursday was early for the 21st century but would be close to normal prior to 1970. #akwx #Climate @[email protected] @[email protected]

Pretty good bet that the highest temperatures of 2025 have come and gone in and around Alaska. Widespread 90s in the Koyukuk and Kobuk valleys are extreme, but likely not as rare as the 80s on the western North Slope, even right to the coast. Meanwhile, some areas in Southcentral (Kenai) and Southeast (Sitka) had unusually low peak temperatures. @Climatologist49

Wildfire area burned in the Northwest Territories, Canada has nearly doubled in the past two weeks, with more than 1.33 million hectares (3.30 million acres) burned in 2025. Although wildfire as been minimal in the Yukon Territory and Alaska this month, the northern North American total area burned is now nearly twice the 1988 to 2024 median and on par with 2022 and 2024. @Climatologist49

Perimeters of larger fires in the Fairbanks, Alaska area. Note that these are certainly underestimates of area burned as dense smoke is hindering mapping and reconnaissance efforts.

The McDonald and Clear wildfires have joined in the latest perimeter analysis available from Alaska Interagency Coordination Center. The McDonald Fire is on track to be the largest wildfire in Fairbanks North Star Borough since the 2009 Wood River 1 fire (125,000 acres). #akwx #Wildfire #Summer2024 #McDonaldFire #ClearFire #Smoke
