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.

The sun rose at 6:17 AM AKDT and set at 9:27 PM AKDTm and it is twilight until almost 11 p.m. here on the hill.  So you don't have to burn the midnight oil to finish your taxes if you live here. :)
