Temperatures reached 90F (32C) in Anchorage on Thursday, shattering the city's previous record of 85F. Several other places in southern Alaska also set all-time or daily records. Experts say the unusual weather has been caused by a "heat dome" over the southern part of the state. The high pressure system is expected to move north next week. Anchorage's record temperature of 90F was recorded at its airport at 17:00 on Thursday (01:00 Friday GMT), according to the National Weather Service. The previous all-time record for the city was in 1969. Other areas in Alaska also reached similar temperatures amid the heatwave, and several recorded daily and all-time records. The state-wide record was set in Fort Yukon in 1915 when the temperature reached 100F. With the latest round of high temperatures set to continue in the state over the coming days, the National Weather Service urged people to stay hydrated, seek out shade and wear lightweight clothing. Shawn King, a native of Anchorage, said he had never seen a stretch of similar hot weather. His young daughter Tessa had insisted going barefoot when he offered to go fishing. "It's too hot for shoes," she said. The dramatic warming Alaska has experienced in recent years is linked partly to a decline in sea ice and Arctic Ocean warming. This has wreaked havoc on local communities, wildlife and the state's economy. Climate change played a role in the deaths of thousands of puffins in Alaska, scientists said in May.

This is not due to global warming, it's just normal cycles. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do dislike and even hate the mongers of fear that use climate for their personal money making schemes, I also think it is awful to have polluted waterways, and choking cities filled with ozone and miles and miles of asphalt scars instead of wonderful cypress trees and huge water swamps, lakes, rivers, and vast free areas as animal roaming refuges. I cannot deny that where I live as well as where I have lived, from Hew England to California to Florida are very different today than they each where twenty thirty fifty and even seventy years ago. Man in charge of the animals has not done a great job to date. Hoping that Jesus is coming soon therefore we need do nothing is not a good environmntal plan despite the best sales job to that effect by one James G. Watt Secretary of the Interior under president Ronald Reagan in the early 1980's. That character was a shame to Christians, made us seem to be fools, and perhaps, perhaps some of us were. I do like clean waterways. I do like a clean Charles River leading into the port of Boston. I do like many of the results of the climatologists efforts despite my disliking the idea that they exaggerate and even will lie deliberately for political purposes and personal profit rather that for the sake of our environment. Yes the world is unstable, and it is perhaps due to a lot of poor decision making by man and his governments. I'm guessing that our first resource to fail will be water. There will not be enough to spread about to keep us hydrated, living creatures will suffer thirst, even before hunger that way we pollute our waters and reduce that with is useable by us. May God guide each of us, may each of us become willing to sacrifice a bit and maybe a lot toward the effort of improving on the way we live, consume, and waste of resources today, including even me!

Funny one! Well except and unless if one happens to have been around parts of Texas before fracking there, and the upheaval of the land from the construction of highways from Mexico intended to cut through to Canada, vast scars on the land with elimination of trees and grasses, plus the upturning of species of molds and toxins not released before with the onset of previously unknown flesh eating bacteria that eats upon humans.
