Deadhorse Alaska, on the Arctic Ocean, hit 89 degrees yesterday. The hottest it has ever been that far north. Compare that to 88 in Clearwater, Florida. At least Alaska's was a dry heat.

Doesn't sound unusual according to wiki


"Like all of the North Slope, Deadhorse features a cold and dry tundra climate (Köppen ET), as even the hottest month, July, has a daily average temperature of only 48 °F (9 °C), although Deadhorse reaches 80 °F (27 °C) on average once every four years. "

It isn’t…and Alaska has even hit 100…Fort Yukon Alaska (same interior area) in 1915…even Yakutsk, Siberia…infamous for its -70 to -80 winters has hit 101…
