Salcha Weather

That time of year where sunsets come after midnight and  couple hour later the Sun comes back up. No longer  have civil twilight here until late August.  Had some thermal activity  today as cold front moved thru . 890 lighting  strikes detected.  Weather  been cool  with night time temps thru may in the 20’s and 30’s. June been warmer but nights still hitting high 30’s.

With the warmer temps and lighting storms our other summer season has started, Fire season.  1000 acre  fire near Tok  just couple miles off the ALCAN.  Fire crews have it contain and continue to do suppression. Being the first fire they were able to throw lot off manpower and equipment at it so it never got into the long burn phase. Hopefully we don’t have many this year.
