#wildfire2025 — Public Fediverse posts

Wildfire season is winding down across Alaska with lower temperatures, much higher humidities and more frequent rains. According to the Saturday's wildfire perimeter analyses from the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center, just over 1 million acres burned in Alaska this season.#akwx #Wildfire2025 @anisian @Climatologist49

Alaska wildfire during July in burned about 633,00 acres (989 square miles) = 256,000 ha in Alaska Interagency Coordination Center analysis. This is above the past 32 year median but not dramatically so. About 85 percent of the total burned during the first half of the month. @anisian @Climatologist49

Tuesday afternoon and a pyrocumulus from the Aggie Creek Fire visible from UAF West Ridge looking northwest. That’s about 20 miles away. #akwx #Wildfire2025 #Alaska #Summer2025 @anisian @Climatologist49

Talk of Alaska at 10am AKDT this morning we'll be talking about the abrupt onset to wildfire in Alaska in June. With the first week of July looking hot and dry in the Interior, it's a timely topic.

Wednesday is another big lightning day in and around Alaska. Only 7pm AKDT and already nearly 8900 strikes, mostly in the northern Interior but also south of the Yukon River and even a scattering on the Seward Peninsula and eastern North Slope. #akwx #Wildfire2025 #Summer2025

Alaska Interagency Coordination Center as of early Tuesday morning estimated that just over 232,000 acres (94,100 ha) have burned in Alaska, virtually all of that in the past eight days. This is above the 1993-2024 median to this point in the season but far from the most extreme. #akwx #Wildfire2025 #Summer2025 @Climatologist49 @anisian

From nothing to everything in just a few days, the 2025 wildfire season in northwest North America has roared to life. I've got some context and info on why in the latest from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #akwx #Wildfire2025 #Summer2025 alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/june-2025-...

Alaska Interagency Coordination Center lightning mapper not functional this morning, but for the record, 8151 strikes in Alaska Wednesday/Wednesday night. Three day total 29,800 strikes, the highest 3-day total since July 24-26, 2023 (32,300 strikes).

More than 15,000 lightning strikes in Alaska Tuesday and Tuesday night from the Alaska Fire Service network. That's the highest one-day total since July 24, 2023. Strikes concentrated in the southwest Interior and Yukon-Tanana uplands but also some in the Brooks Range. New wildfire starts are certain.

Monday early morning reduced air quality in wildfire smoke extends all the way from the central and southern Yukon Territory northwestward into Interior Alaska. Smoke originates from wildfires in northeast BC and is evident all the way to western Interior. Graphic and data courtesy PurpleAir. #akwx #ytwx #Wildfire2025 #Smoke @Climatologist49

Wildfire smoke spreading down the Tanana Valley in Interior Alaska Sunday. FAA webcam on Knob Ridge above Dot Lake looking murky Sunday early afternoon. The smoke originated from wildfires in northwest Canada. #akwx #Wildfire2025 @anisian @Climatologist49

Sunday morning and widespread "unhealthy" air quality in wildfire smoke the northern Southeast Alaska, southern and central Yukon Territory and eastern Interior Alaska. Smoke originating from wildfires in northern BC. #akwx #weather #Wildfire2025 #Smoke

Smoky Sunday morning at K’ehtthiign (Northway, Upper Tanana Dene county), Alaska. There are no clouds in the sky but smoke is thick enough to limit shadows. At 7am AKDT visibility 4 miles smoke from wildfires in northern BC. #akwx #Wildfire2025 @transitionalaspect

Low level smoke from northern British Columbia wildfires now blankets most of the central and southern Yukon and now into eastern Interior, with Saturday mid-afternoon air quality into the "unhealthy" category as far northwest as Tok, Alaska.

Smoke haze from NW Canada wildfires now into Alaska. Visibility at Eagle has been down to five miles Saturday afternoon. Image courtesy FAA. #akwx #Wildfire2025

Can confirm: high level smoke haze over Fairbanks, Alaska Wednesday morning from northern Alberta/Saskatchewan wildfires. Graphic from NWS HRRR smoke model. #akwx #Wildfire2025 @Climatologist49 @anisian @mivox @debmcqueen

With scattered thunderstorms in recent days in the eastern Interior, no surprise, a new 450 acre wildfire reported northwest of Eagle Sunday. The Kathul fire in limited protection so no action at this time. Info from the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center.

A slow start to the 2025 Alaska wildfire season. So far only 36 acres (15 ha) have burned in Alaska, the lowest total up to May 22nd in the past 33 years. This is of course meaningless as what the full season will bring. Data from Alaska Interagency Coordination Center. #akwx #Wildfire #Wildfire2025 @Climatologist49
