Alaska just hit a climate milestone — its first-ever heat advisory
In Fairbanks, Alaska—where summer highs usually hover in the low 70s—the forecast now comes with a first: an official heat advisory. Temperatures near 90 degrees may not rattle the Lower 48, but in a region built to trap warmth, not shed it, the stakes are different. Homes lack A/C. Heat lingers for nearly 22 hours of daylight. And the systems meant to warn or respond—weather offices, firefighting crews—are stretched thin. It’s more than a hot spell. It’s a climate warning wrapped in red tape. Lois Parshley with Grist has the full story.
