All-time maximum temperature records are being broken in parts of Alaska this week.
A slow-moving and unusually strong region of high pressure, combined with a mass of warm air, caused temperatures to reach unprecedented levels in Alaska on Thursday.
The state's most populated city, Anchorage, reached 89 degrees Fahrenheit (~ 32 degrees Celsius) at Ted Stevens International Airport late on Thursday afternoon. This broke Anchorage's previous maximum temperature record of 85°F (~29°C) from June 14, 1969. Data for the airport goes back to 1952.
