Alaska heat wave shatters temperature record in largest city Anchorage 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseTemperatures in Alaska’s largest city Anchorage have soared to a sweltering all-time record of 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 centigrade) as a heat wave grips the US state which straddles the Arctic Circle. The average high temperature for July 4 in Anchorage, located in southern Alaska, is a far cooler 65 degrees. “Several all-time high temperature records were set at official observation sites throughout southern Alaska,” the agency added Friday. Alaska had earlier broken temperature records throughout a hot spring, particularly in the Arctic zone which is especially sensitive to climate change.
