Btw, with highs in the 60’s where does that put you on average for your area? It’s been so bad here, that it made the news that AC companies are flooded with calls because people think their AC’s aren’t working because it’s 80+ in the house, when they’re actually working fine. The reported temps have been in the low 100’s, but that’s at a weather station 40 feet in the air in the middle of field or airport. It’s easily been hitting 115 in the asphalt islands, so 80 degrees inside means that AC is kicking ass and bringing the temp down a whopping 35 degrees.

I guess it's pretty much the average for the last five years or so, anyway. We get an occasional few days (few and far between) that make it up around 80F. but mostly, overcast and in the high sixties is about all we can hope for. Fortunately, Wasilla is far enough from the coast so we don't have the same kind of rainy summers Valdez or Juneau get. (lived in both places. This is the best so far!)

Fairbanks is far inland, and can get VERY hot and sunny. Juneau, on the other hand, is in a "north temperate rain forest" and it has temps in the sixties and lots of miserable precipitation.
