OT: Deadhorse Alaska, on the Arctic Ocean…

[Tango Two]

Deadhorse Alaska, on the Arctic Ocean, hit 89 degrees yesterday. The hottest it has ever been that far north. Compare that to 88 in Clearwater, Florida. At least Alaska's was a dry heat.

Doesn't sound unusual according to wiki


"Like all of the North Slope, Deadhorse features a cold and dry tundra climate (Köppen ET), as even the hottest month, July, has a daily average temperature of only 48 °F (9 °C), although Deadhorse reaches 80 °F (27 °C) on average once every four years. "
