When It's Springtime in Alaska
The average temperature in Fairbanks this April was above freezing at 33�F, which was just over 1� above normal for the month. The first week saw temperatures well below normal but rather warm conditions followed, causing a rapid melting of the snowpack that remained from winter.
A high of 68�F was reached on the 26th and the low for the month of -14�F was recorded on the 1st. A record high minimum temperature of 36�F was set on the 23rd. With a precipitation total of 0.05 inches water equivalent, Fairbanks received only 24% of normal for April, and only a trace of snowfall was recorded.
