Alaska issued its first-ever heat warning over the weekend as temperatures were forecast to reach 85 degrees Fahrenheit in Fairbanks.

The warning is not necessarily reflective of unprecedented high temperatures, although 85 is far above the average June temperatures for the state. It’s more reflective of a change in policy from the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service recently began allowing Alaska to issue heat advisories there, whereas notices of similarly warm weather conditions previously were issued via “special weather statements.”
