A heat advisory is in effect in Alaska for the first time ever
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (WJW/AP) — When you think of Alaska, you rarely think of heat. But currently, parts of Alaska are under the state's first official heat advisory. Here's why it is technically new, but not necessarily unique in what's considered the nation's coldest state. 1 killed in Canton Township hit-and-run; see the suspect's car Unusually warm weather has been recorded in Alaska before, but previously the National Weather Service would issue 'special weather statements' to alert residents about warm weather conditions, according to the Associated Press. It was only at the start of June 2025 that the National Weather Service permitted heat advisories to be issued in the state. The switch is reportedly meant to change how the public views the information. 'Using the heat advisory label could help people better understand the weather's severity and potential danger, something a nondescript 'special weather statement' didn't convey,' the Associated Press reported. Flash flooding kills 5 in West Virginia, rescue teams searching for missing people According to the National Weather Service, the heat advisory went into effect Sunday, June 15 for Tanana, Fairbanks, Fort Yukon and Eagle, where temperatures are expected to reach between 85 and 89 degrees Fahrenheit. The advisory is scheduled to last through Tuesday evening. Far less surprising: Northeast Ohio is also in for a stretch of summer temperatures this week with many days expected to reach the mid 80s.
