all time record highs in portions of Alaska

Several cities in south central Alaska have set all time record highs.

Those readings were from Monday.

Today, Talkeetna is already up to 88 degrees at early afternoon. The record may be in jeopardy again today.




In the polar regions from 80 degrees N to the North Pole, this is the coldest start to the summer season (since June 1) since records began in the 1950's.
