Always a good day when the Brooks Range is involved. Helped out at work with a cargo run to Anaktuvuk Pass this afternoon with one of our pilots.

March 2026 in Fairbanks North Slope Borough was the coldest March since 1950, edging out 2007 and 1959. There's no long term trend in March average temps. ERA5 data courtesy

Impressive "sunrise dip" in the temperature at Fairbanks airport, with the temp falling 21ºF (11.7C) between 6am and 8am AKDT Wednesday. Not directly associated with a change in wind speed or direction (at least at the 10 meter level).

There is hope Fairbanks for temperatures to get back to some semblance of normal next week. The last day with a high temperature above normal was February 24.
