Fairbanks-land about to switch from early summer to late summer. Excellent model agreement for westerly winds aloft breaking through later this week and with it rain and much cooler temps. Pretty much right on schedule. #akwx #weather @[email protected] @[email protected]

A mid-summer atmospheric river brought 3 to 5 inches of rain to parts of Southcentral Alaska Sunday into Monday. Four of the past five Julys have had way above normal rainfall in this region. Graphic courtesy @[email protected] #akwx #Climate #weather @[email protected]

☔️🌧️ The rain isn’t letting up, and neither are the flood concerns. See where Southcentral Alaska is watching the water rise and what drivers need to know.

5:45AM: 48F, fair, high today near 68F.
The news that isn't news: more sun. Ugh.
I did a rant on my FB page about Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder (which is a real thing that I have) and those who are less than supportive.
Those same folks are very empathetic for SAD sufferers in winter. 🤷♀️
Every (long!) day that goes by with sun makes me more anxious, irritable, and vaguely depressed.
But I've heard that winter is coming. 😉

Much of Alaska had a chilly first half of 2026. But why? The latest post from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter takes a look at what's happened and some thoughts on why. #akwx #Climate

tl;dr luck of the draw with the dominant atmospheric flow patterns combined with some reinforcing feedbacks converged to bring Alaska sustained cool weather. But this has happened repeatedly in the past: nothing fundamental has changed. @Climatologist49

Sea ice is very slowly melting the Chukchi Sea, but only slowly. Ice extent as ofJuly 18 well above last year and is the highest for the date since 1994(!) in NSIDC data. Sea ice melt in the Beaufort Sea has also been slow but is starting to pick up speed and is now slightly lower than last year at this time. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

Sea surface temperatures departures from the 1991-2020 baseline around Alaska for the week ending July 17, 2026. Relative to average, the Bering Sea has cooled in the past few weeks. North of the Bering Strait well below normal SSTs reflecting high sea ice concentrations. Gulf of Alaska mostly with 1°C of average. Data courtesy NOAA/PSL/ESRL. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe

6:30AM: 54F, overcast.
Woke up late (6:00AM!) to rain, which was a wee shock to the system.
But I recovered quickly. 😉
Mostly cloudy today and I'm hoping for a bit more cheeky precip!

Sun is in the forecast....forever. If you need me, I'll be wallowing in my sun-sadness.
(OK, basically sunny through next week, but I enjoy being dramatic.)
Rain, rain!?! Wherefore art thou, Rain????
