Utqiaġvik, Alaska, northernmost community in Alaska, 32 years ago today reached 79F (26.1C). This still stands as the highest temperature of record. Here's the teletype report from the day, send out by the late Chuck Evans, long-time Official-in-Charge of the Barrow Weather Service Office. Chuck said the offshore wind that brought the extreme temperatures also brought in hoards of mosquitoes. Brian Brettschneider (npub1z0w…vryl) Bryan D. Thomas (npub1xle…e8pe)
