Forecast

Fairbanks' weather is affected by its location near the Arctic Circle, which means it gets very cold and dark in winter, and mild and bright in summer.

The city's low air pressure is due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, which pulls cold air from the North Pole, making the air sink and pressure drop.

Fairbanks' geography, surrounded by mountains, traps cold air and makes it harder for warm air to reach the area, keeping air pressure low during winter.

In summer, the warm air from the Pacific Ocean rises, increasing air pressure and bringing clear skies and mild temperatures.

The seasonal pressure changes bring distinct weather patterns: winter is cold and dark, spring is cool and snowy, summer is mild and sunny, and autumn is cool and rainy.

Fairbanks has a subarctic climate, characterized by long, cold winters and short, mild summers, which means air pressure is usually low due to the cold air dominating the area.
