Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for Alaska and Northwestern Canada - September 2023
Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for Alaska and Northwestern Canada for June–August 2023, with an outlook for October–December 2023. Dated September 2023.
Summer was exceptionally warm across much of northwest Canada and portions of northern and eastern Alaska. For some areas, this was the warmest summer on record, as measured by the daily average temperature for the June through August period.
Environment and Climate Change Canada, NOAA, and partners created these climate outlooks to inform the public about recent climate impacts within their respective regions. Each regional report contains easy-to-understand language, and anyone can access them through the U.S. Drought Portal.
