Dressing for Alaska in the Summer
    #25098631 -

Is anyone familiar with the kind of weather to expect during the summer in Alaska? Im going crazy trying to figure out what kind of clothes to get. I was thinking some sets of long johns, socks and a light jacket or two. IDK if thats overkill or underkill. Im from Texas, so we rarely dress for cold and mostly deal with hot. I need at least a week supplies of clothes i can cycle over a few months. Specifically, i think im gonna be in Valdez. Theres a glacier, so maybe i do need some warm clothes

weather.com?


I think it varies wildly depending on WHERE in alaska.  Alaska is MASSSSIIIVEEEE.  Like most people don't realize just how masive it really is because of the way maps are drawn that we all grew up with.  Its something like 1/3rd the size of the entire US...

*edit* missed that you said valdez.  I would just check historical weather for that area and guesstimate from there.  If there is a glacier I would expect it to be at least chilly (cold since you're like me and live in the heat).  Alaska CAN also have pretty warm temps also though.

You have that backwards. Most maps make Alaska look much bigger than it actually is. Alaska is about 19% of the size of the contiguous US.

Alaska Is Big!
You could fit New York into Alaska 12 times! One-fifth the size of the Lower 48, Alaska is bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined!
Alaska is also far-flung: 6.0 times wider (east to west) and 4.4 times taller (north to south) than New York. From north to south, Alaska measures 1420 miles, the distance from Denver to Mexico City, and east to west 2500 miles, the distance from Savannah, GA to Santa Barbara, CA. See detailed Alaska maps.
Alaska also has the most northern point (Point Barrow) and the most western point (Cape Wrangell, Alaska -- further west than Hawaii) in the U.S.

I would take that info, then assume it could feel 20 degrees colder and possibly have a massive spike so bring a heavy jacket, thermals, etc.

You can always put more on if you bring enough cold weather stuff, or take it back off if its warmer.

btw koods, that info I just posted is directly from ALASKA.ORG the official site for alaska or some shit.  So I'm going to go ahead and say its probably right and you are not.

My original number was a rough guess, I didn't bother to look it up until afterwards.

That's still huge for a state in the US though. Texas is the next biggest and has about half Alaska's land mass.

Bring a toque or beenie or whatever you call those woolen caps.

There will be a fuck ton of bugs. Probably the largest mosquitos you have ever seen. And they don't give a fuck about your bug repellent spray.

The best bug repellent I've tried is a cream with 30% DEET. The company that makes it is called Watkins. Makes a big difference but it doesn't stop them entirely.

Quality rain gear
Synthetic base layers
Fleece pants and top
 
What are you doing there?

The sun barely goes down in the summer so it doesn’t get too cold mid-summer in the south.

Prep for all types of weather really. It can get hot as hell and cold as a well diggers ass in a span of 24hrs. I was there a few years back and Fairbanks had record breaking heat waves and I didn't have a pair of shorts or light shirt. You're not gonna freeze to death so i think you can leave the parka at home but be prepared for anything other than subzero in the summer.

I did buy a light rain jacket and I'm also getting some pants. Im also gonna buy a neck warmer and possibly some rain boot covers. also on the list is some warm socks.  I also wanna make sure I got regular comfortable clothes, so think I'm gonna get some new boxer briefs and tank tops. probably bring a pair of jeans or two. kinda thinking of it like camping. my biggest fear is that I misinterpret the weather and bring all the wrong stuff. some people say that they wear shorts put there in the 45 degree weather. think I'll be a little more sensitive to the cold. also, idk if the wind chill will make a difference. I was looking at recent photos and there's snow all over the ground right now. not sure how much that'll change in two months

Woot Woot.

OP should come to Texas instead. It's warming up and all the females are starting to lose the layers.
