Ex-Typhoon Halong: The Weather and Climate Story November 13 @ 11:00 am to 12:00 pm AKST Speakers: Rick Thoman, Climate Specialist, and Ed Plumb, Weather and Flood Hazards Specialist, Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Preparedness On October 11–12, 2025, ex-Typhoon Halong brought catastrophic flooding and damaging winds to parts of western Alaska, particularly across the Kuskokwim Delta region. In this ACCAP webinar, we’ll focus on the weather and climate aspects of this exceptional event. We’ll discuss the evolution of the storm, how unusual it was for a former typhoon to take this track so far north, how rare storms of this strength are in the eastern Bering Sea, and how weather forecast models performed leading up to the event.

ACCAP webinar on Thursday November 13 at 11am AKST about devastating ex-typhoon Halong that impacted parts of southwest Alaska last month. This will be recorded, so register at the link whether you can join live or watch the recording later. #akwx #ExtremeWx #Alaska

And may I add that if one more rightwing politician or #EM says they never imagined such #ExtremeWX would occur in their jurisdiction, I will throw paper towels at them myself.

On May 24 in 1947 and again in 1960, Ft. Wainwright (near Fairbanks) reported a high temperature of 92F (33.3C). That remains the highest reliable temperature on record in Alaska in May. Since then, 91F at Ft. Yukon (1983) and Eagle (2015). #akwx #Climate #ExtremeWx @climatologist49.bsky.social

#Climate reality from @sullivanjp3: We can build big walls, but the storm is coming that won't keep that water out. Our #resilience idea is prevent what you can & when that storm occurs recover quickly. #sealevelrise #extremewx #Boston #onewater @BOSTON_WATER
