In Barrow, this polar night will occur with the last sunset Nov. 19 until the sun pops above the horizon again Jan. 23. The average rainfall (solid line) accumulated over the course of a sliding 31-day period centered on the day in question, with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. no moonlight, or other lights). All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's The average daily incident shortwave solar energy in Barrow is Weather whiplash: Alaska is off to a frigid start in 2020 after record warm 2019. We will review the data in question.You are about to report this weather station for bad data. Due to its extreme latitude, Barrow experiences polar day (also known as the midnight Sun) during the summer and polar night during the winter. When these storms barrel through, it won’t take as much to dash the ice into smaller pieces.“If we get into a sustained stormy pattern, that ice could get chewed up in a hurry,” Thoman said.Across the Arctic more broadly, September is the climatological low point for sea ice; by October, a decrease in daylight and cooling temperatures foster its growth as winter approaches.Last season’s summer sea ice extent tied for its second-lowest coverage observed during the satellite era (1970 onward), “reinforcing the long-term downward trend in Arctic ice extent,” As for what the recent surge in sea ice means for the upcoming season, Serreze says, “We’ll sort of have to wait and see.” The most important news stories of the day, curated by Post editors and delivered every morning.The most important news stories of the day, curated by Post editors and delivered every morning. “Practically all of Eurasia has been hot at high latitudes. The average sliding 31-day rainfall during July in Barrow is Summer High: the July high is around 47 degrees Winter Low: the January low is -20 Rain: averages 5 inches of rain a year Snow: averages 38 inches of snow a year. The percentage of time spent in each cloud cover band, categorized by the percentage of the sky covered by clouds. The sun does not contribute to the illumination of the sky before this time in the morning, or after this time in the evening. Temperature With an average high-temperature of 46.9°F (8.3°C) and an average low-temperature of 34.9°F (1.6°C), July is the warmest month.

The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray.

This report illustrates the typical weather in Barrow year round, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. The horizon should be clearly defined and the brightest stars should be visible under good atmospheric conditions (i.e. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. The annual BestPlaces Comfort Index for Barrow is 3.6 (10=best), which means it is one of the least comfortable places in Alaska. This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water.

The [sea] ice is in a much better place than it was. In this report, we use a base of The percentage of days in which various types of precipitation are observed, excluding trace quantities: rain alone, snow alone, and mixed (both rain and snow fell in the same day).
