Climate Insight: Intricate Bay, AK
Based on station USC00503933 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Intricate Bay, Alaska averages 37°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 45°F to a mean daily low of 28°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Intricate Bay sees about an uncharted amount of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 100 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 4 and the first fall freeze near September 12. On the energy side, 10,298 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, Intricate Bay scores 39/100 (Below Average), 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.
