An Alaskan community located near the cold Arctic Ocean preliminarily shattered an all-time record for the hottest temperature so far north in the nation's 49th state.
Tuesday afternoon's temperature hit 89 degrees in Deadhorse, Alaska. That shattered the location's all-time record of 85 degrees set July 13, 2016.
On top of that, it's the hottest temperature ever reliably measured so far north in the state, according to a post on X by Brian Brettschneider, an Alaska-based climatologist.
The temperature is short of Alaska's all-time record for any location in the state which is 100 degrees set in Fort Yukon on June 27, 1915. That location is farther south in Alaska's interior and doesn't receive cooling influence from the Arctic Ocean in the summer like Deadhorse sees.

Well, a record high must be evidence of global warming.
Even though they sometimes tell us that day to day weather is not evidence of climate change, they always jump on a record being set as evidence
They've only been keeping records since about 1968.
On top of that, it's the hottest temperature ever reliably measured so far north in the state,
I see about five or six other small villages that are north of Deadhorse. It's not clear if these other towns keep records and for how long. Even if they do these other towns are right on the cold water whereas Deadhorse is inland by about 10 miles away from the frigid Beauford Sea.
Doesn’t the vaccine block global warming?!?!
And, btw, what was the warmest Alaska temperature in the 1850s? 1730s? 1620? 1500s? Etc.
“”they always jump on a record being set””
Meanwhile, in Australia, RECORD, KILLING COLD abounds.
As I have pondered previously, it would be wonderful to have a peek into the future, when the next Great Cold returns. Right now, we postulate that there are long periods of very cold temperatures. These cold periods last about 100,000 years. Every 100,000 years, or so, are warming periods of, perhaps, 10,000-15,000 years.
It would be wonderful during the next Great Cold to witness the Comedy Channel, with a weekly laugh at AlGore and his minions stating “the Earth has a fever.”
During one of the many “we only have 10 years to fix this” AlGore hoaxes, Rush had a countdown clock on his homepage. It had a great picture of AlGore spouting fire. As Zero Hour (THE END) approached, Rush would mention it more often. Afterwards, it became just one more of the thousands of “we’re all going to die” hoaxes.
I wonder if when the far north was a tropical swamp full of huge creatures, if the temp ever climbed above 89?

It’s like “Science” (pops gum) ya know?
Deadhorse is the airport for the Prudhoe Bay oil field.. I spent 26 summers working on the up there during my early medical career. Temps in the 80’s this time of year are common. So are swarms of mosquitoes. All of the oil production buildings are insulated for an average temp of -25*F so the flow had to be turned way down during temps like this. An interesting factoid: when the oil comes out of the ground it is 160*.
