Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for Alaska and Northwestern Canada for September – November 2018; outlook for January – March 2019.  Dated December 2018. 

Between September and November 2018, Alaska, the majority of the Yukon Territory, and a small portion of northwestern Northwest Territories (NT) experienced warmer than average conditions.  Total precipitation between September and November was below average over a small area in northwestern Alaska, and across a band spanning southern Alaska, southern Yukon, and southern NT.

NOAA’s Regional Climate Services Program 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 Drought Portal at https://www.drought.gov/drought/resources/reports.
