This change marks a major shift in protocol: in the past, similar events were only met with <strong>\u201cspecial weather statements.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Temperatures well above average in Fairbanks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Over the weekend and into next week, <strong>Fairbanks<\/strong> is forecast to see highs reaching the <strong>mid-80s \u00b0F (around 29 \u00b0C)<\/strong>, a sharp departure from the historical June average of <strong>mid-60s \u00b0F (about 18 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. According to the <strong>National Weather Service advisory<\/strong>, while this isn\u2019t the kind of <strong>100+ \u00b0F (over 37 \u00b0C)<\/strong> heat wave seen in other parts of the U.S., <strong>the spike can still be dangerous in a region unaccustomed to such warmth<\/strong>, especially for <strong>people and pets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Alaska is warming faster than the global average<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This weather event is <strong>just one signal among many<\/strong> of a rapidly warming climate. <strong>Alaska is heating up at two to four times the pace of the global average<\/strong>. In the past <strong>50 years<\/strong>, the <strong>statewide average temperature<\/strong> has increased by more than <strong>3\u00b0F (roughly 1.7 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. <strong>Six of Alaska\u2019s ten warmest years<\/strong> since 1900 have occurred in the <strong>past 15 years<\/strong>, while <strong>none of its coldest ten<\/strong> has occurred since <strong>1975<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Glaciers thinning, permafrost melting, coasts eroding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The effects of this warming are <strong>measurable and escalating<\/strong>. The state\u2019s <strong>27,000 glaciers<\/strong> are melting, thinning by an average of <strong>three feet (almost 1 meter)<\/strong> between 2000 and 2019. Meanwhile, <strong>melting permafrost<\/strong> is contributing to <strong>rapid coastal erosion<\/strong>, <strong>displacing communities<\/strong> and forcing people from their <strong>homes and towns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>A heat advisory marks a new climate reality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While this <strong>particular heat wave<\/strong> isn\u2019t expected to be <strong>especially catastrophic<\/strong>, it\u2019s a <strong>clear signal of what\u2019s to come<\/strong>.
