Climate Insight: Goldstream Creek, AK
An annual average temperature of 24°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 36°F to a mean daily low of 12°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Goldstream Creek, Alaska. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00503368 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Goldstream Creek sees about 14.3 inches of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. On the energy side, 14,813 heating degree days and 7 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Goldstream Creek scores 47/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings July-driven heat, and winter brings January-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
