Temperatures in Fairbanks, Alaska, are predicted to reach a record-tying 90 degrees Fahrenheit because of a prolonged, unusually late heat wave
Temperatures in Fairbanks, Alaska, are forecast to hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday—hotter than the expected highs in New Orleans, Atlanta and Washington, D.C., that day. In fact, it will be hotter in Fairbanks than much of the contiguous U.S. east of the Mississippi River. The expected temperature in the Alaskan city would tie a record for that date, and the heat could exceed it.
When such events occur in Alaska, they typically happen in late June or early July, when the sun is at its peak in the sky. Since 1930, there have only been 25 years where Fairbanks had at least one 90-degree-F day, and in those years, there have been only a total of 45 such days, Brettschneider says. Only six 90-degree-F days have occurred this late in the summer.
