Climate Insight: Deering, AK
In Deering, Alaska, the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals put the annual average temperature at 23°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 31°F to a mean daily low of 16°F.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Deering receives roughly an uncharted amount of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. For energy use, 15,227 heating degree days and 1 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Deering scores 42/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
