On December 30, 2015, John Henry observed warm winds at 26.7 mph E with an ambient temperature of 39 degrees F and drizzling rain in Unalakleet, Alaska. The warm temperature mixed with rain melts the snow cover in the tundra and reduces the ocean ice thickness, which could lead to drier summer seasons, forest fires, reduced berry capacity, and rising waters near the coast. The article includes two images showing the ranges of temperatures, degree days, dew point, precipitation, wind, and sea level pressure for a two-month period, covering November 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015.
Observation by John Henry:
Warm winds gushing at 26.7 mph E with an ambient temperature of 39 degrees F intermingled with drizzling rain. The warm temperature mixed with rain melts the snow cover in the tundra and reduces the ocean ice thickness with foreseeable repercussions in drier summer seasons (forest fires, reduced berry capacity) and rising waters near the coast (less ocean ice to buffer against high floods).
