High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Monday. Cool for early October North Slope south into western northern Interior. Milder elsewhere and especially warm for the season in the southern Yukon Territory. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social

Fun Alaska climate factoid: NOAA 1991-2020 normal daily average high temperature at Fairbanks Airport drops 26ºF (14ºC) during October, mostly due to the power of snow (and diminishing solar heating). #akwx #Climate @jenniferschell16.bsky.social @themattphelps.bsky.social @bikewritedave.bsky.social

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Sunday, Still warm for the season in Southeast Alaska and the southern Yukon Territory as well as Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula. Freeze-up well underway on the North Slope and in the Brooks Range. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social

Sea ice extent in the Chukchi (northwest of Alaska) is way above the 1991-2020 median in NSIDC data and is the highest for the first week in October since 2001. Sea ice also increasing in the Beaufort Sea but was higher at this point in the season in both 2021 and 2022. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

September average temperatures around Alaska were not dramatic: generally near to slightly above the 1991-2020 baseline normal. #akwx #Climate #Autumn2026 @climatologist49.bsky.social @patwx.bsky.social

Sea surface temperatures around Alaska for the week ending Oct 2 shows above normal #SST in the Gulf of Alaska but near normal near the coast. Western/northern Bering Sea warm but southeast Bering remains cool. Mostly below normal north of the Bering Strait. Data from NOAA/PSL/ESRL. #akwx #Arctic
