Climate Insight: Eklutna Wtp, AK
An annual average temperature of 37°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 47°F to a mean daily low of 28°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Eklutna Wtp, Alaska. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00502737 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 Eklutna Wtp should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 16.6 inches, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 125 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 18 and the first fall freeze near September 20. And on the energy front, 10,206 heating degree days and 25 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Eklutna Wtp scores 44/100 (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.
