Climate Insight: Nabesna, AK

Based on station USC00506147 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Nabesna, Alaska averages 27°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 36°F to a mean daily low of 18°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.

Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Nabesna should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs an uncharted amount, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 89 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 1. And on the energy front, 13,928 heating degree days and 3 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Nabesna scores 39/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat peaks in summer, and January-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
