On the other hand I recently read that temperatures in Alaska have generally been 7o f above normal this year, an that a city (Anchorage?) had a 93o day.

That would be a record ... Anchorage is fairly temperate, as least for a four seasons city. "the hottest reading ever recorded was 86 DEGF (30 DEGC) on June 25, 1953" Anchorage temperature records

That cite is dated, so maybe global warming is real in Anchorage, and 93 is the new normal (hottest day of the year).

Eagle maybe?
