![]() ![]() The storm beat the previous record from 1955 on March 16, which was just 15.6 inches. ![]() The storm broke the city record for the most snowfall in a single day. On March 17, 2002, there was a storm that caused 28.6 in of snow to close schools for two days. The cleanup of ash resulted in excessive demands for water and caused major problems for the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility. The eruption deposited about 3 mm (0.12 in) of volcanic ash on the city. Spurr, which is located 78 mi (126 km) west of the city. The most recent notable incident was an August 1992 eruption of Mt. temperatures in ☌ĭue to its proximity to active volcanoes, ash hazards are a significant, though infrequent, occurrence. In comparison, the Anchorage Climate Action plan is 108 pages long, whereas the Municipality of Anchorage Climate Action Strategy is just 12 pages. ![]() For its near term plans, the city also introduced a plan called the "Municipality of Anchorage Climate Action Strategy." This appears to be a document for a broader audience of people so it is easier for them to understand what will go into these climate action plans. The first annual report on this came out in 2021. One of the major goals of the climate action plan is to reduce green house gas emissions by 80% by the year 2050 from its 2008 emission levels. The action plan includes all of the municipality of Anchorage, as far north as Eklutna and as south as Portage. The mayor and the assembly of Anchorage in 2019 issued a climate action plan for the anticipated effects that climate change will have on its city and people. Winter view of Anchorage and the Chugach Mountainsįor snowfall, the annual mean average for 2000 to 2022 was 76.4 inches the highest snowfall season being 2011 - 2012 with 134.5 inches, and the lowest season being 25.1 inches in 2015. The months with the highest average mean of rain were August and September, each having an annual mean of 2.75 inches (August) and 3.24 inches (September). Farther afield at the Campbell Airstrip is another weather station recording colder night temperatures in both summer and winter.Īverage July low and high temperatures are 52 / 66 ☏ (11.1 / 18.9 ☌) and the hottest reading ever recorded was 90 ☏ or 32.2 ☌ on July 4, 2019.īetween 20 the annual rainfall in Anchorage was 16.7 inches. Average January low and high temperatures at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC) are 11 / 23 ☏ (−11.7 / −5.0 ☌) with an average winter snowfall of 75.59 inches, or 1.92 meters. Anchorage has a frost-free growing season that averages slightly over one hundred days. The same idea applies to the precipitation normal values, except enhanced odds forĪbove- (below-) normal precipitation values are green (brown).Average daytime summer temperatures range from approximately 55 to 78 ☏ (12.8 to 25.6 ☌) average daytime winter temperatures are about 5 to 30 ☏ (−15.0 to −1.1 ☌). If the selected point is within an area of enhanced odds forīelow-normal temperatures, the shading around the normal maximum/minimum temperature will appear blue. If the selected point is withinĪn area of enhanced odds for above-normal temperatures, the shading around the normal maximum/minimum temperature will appear red. The color used to highlight the normal values (precipitation or maximum/minimum temperature) are used to delineate the category of the forecast at the point clicked. What does the highlighting around the normal precipitation or normal maximum/minimum temperature imply? What color scheme is used? The color scheme follows that of the static images for the 6-10 day forecasts and 8-14 day forecasts. Intervening values are linearly interpolated, combined with data from the COOP, and averaged over the 5-day period to createĪverage maximum/minimum temperature normals. For temperatures, monthly average maximum/minimum temperatures are assigned to theġ5th of the current month and subsequent month. These values are then summed over the 5-day period to create total precipitation normals. PRISM data are inherently available as monthly values.įor precipitation, daily average values are calculated (Monthly Total/Number of Days in Month) and combined with data from the Cooperative Observer Network (COOP). PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model) normals are used in this display.
