While the lower forty eight has had some hot weather, it's also been remarkably hot in Alaska. Not just the interior, where warm spells are common, but even the north slope has had temps in the 80's. In Fairbanks, after a mild winter, spring was cool, but lately it's just been hot. June had a week of 80's and now another week in July.
Over a hundred in the sun and 80's in the shade, it's just too hot!
The hot weather also brings forrest fires. While none are real close, we still get the smoke.
The dreaded orange sun when smoke obscures the sky.
The dogs don't much like this weather and spend most of the day sleeping in the shade of their houses. But during their free run, Earl likes to roll in the shady grass.
A dogs life ain't all bad!
