When have the warmest and coldest months in Alaska occurred? Based on Berkeley Earth dataset, here's the distribution of the "top ten" warmest (red) and coldest (blue) each month 1895 to 2024. Obviously the frequency of top ten warmest months has dramatically increased in the 21st century even as frequency of top ten coldest has dwindled. #akwx #ClimateChange

Lots of good aurora photos from around Interior Alaska Saturday night and early Sunday morning, but this was one from Tok (upper Tanana valley, Tanacross Dene county) is especially evocative. Photo by K. Turk and shared with permission. #akwx #aurora #Alaska #Autumn2024

The Mendenhall River near Juneau has crested at the highest recorded level following the Sunday's release of the Suicide Basin glacial dammed lake. Juneau CB reporting areas have flooded that did not last year. Let me repeat: this is an unambiguous result of a warming climate and the rapid thinning of the Juneau Icefield glacier thinning. This did not occur on the Mendenhall River before 2011. #akwx #Summer2024 #ClimateChange
