Uniform Temperature Days

Last November I noticed that Juneau had a day where the high and low temperatures were identical. It got me to thinking about how common of an occurrence this is. Well, here is the answer for the "Big 3" cities in Alaska. Surprisingly, Fairbanks has had more of these days than either Anchorage or Juneau. Note: I will check surrounding stations for the June 1905 occurrence in Fairbanks.

Anchorage - 1 occurrence
1/8/1917  Max = 11, Min = 11

Juneau - 2 occurrences
10/26/1942    Max = 57, Min = 57
11/13/2012    Max = 32, Min = 32

Fairbanks - 3 occurrences
11/12/1904    Max = 10, Min = 10
6/25/1905    Max = 54, Min = 54
12/24/1909    Max = 8, Min = 8

  1. I'd guess it's highly likely that all three of the Fairbanks dates are bogus; as all are pre-1910 and the obs forms have many errors.
