Senior climate scientist Brian Brettschneider has released his monthly review of Alaska’s weather, highlighting a month marked by dramatic temperature swings that ultimately averaged out to near-normal conditions for the state.
June opened with freezing temperatures in some areas before rapidly climbing into the 80s just days later. The month featured notable extremes, including a high of 85°F along the Yukon River in Eagle and an unexpected early-season snowfall on the North Slope. Atigun Pass recorded a low of just 11°F during the period.
Brettschneider’s analysis breaks down several key developments:
Temperature Volatility: Sharp swings from summer-like heat to unusually cold readings across the state.
Arctic Sea Ice: A persistent area of cold slowed ice melt in northern regions.
El Niño Outlook: An update on emerging conditions that could influence future weather patterns.
The recap also includes supplemental maps illustrating cloud cover, solar radiation, and wind patterns across Alaska. Check out the video breakdown below for a detailed look at the month’s climate data.
