Climate Insight: Eagle Rvr, AK
An annual average temperature of 37°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 46°F to a mean daily low of 27°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Eagle Rvr, Alaska. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00502656 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Eagle Rvr should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 12.5 inches, with 59.3 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 117 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 21 and the first fall freeze near September 15. And on the energy front, 10,315 heating degree days and 14 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Eagle Rvr scores 34/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
