Alaska also holds the extreme US record low temperatures for every month except September, where Big Piney, Wyoming recorded -15 °F (-26.1 °C) on September 20, 1983, while the coldest temperature recorded in Alaska in September was -13 °F (25 °C) in Arctic Village on September 30, 1970.
On a per-person basis, Wyoming emits more carbon dioxide than any other state or any other country: 276,000 pounds (125,000 kg) of it per capita a year, because of burning coal, which provides nearly all of the state's electrical power. [1] Over the last century, the average temperature in Laramie, Wyoming, has increased 1.5 °F (0.8 °C). [2]
The amount of snow received at weather stations varies substantially from year to year. For example, the annual snowfall at Paradise Ranger Station in Mount Rainier National Park has been as little as 266 inches (680 cm) in 2014-2015 and as much as 1,122 inches (2,850 cm) in 1971–1972. [2]
Köppen climate types of Wyoming, using 1991-2020 climate normals. On Interstate 80, leaving Utah Autumn in the Bighorn Mountains. Wyoming's climate is generally semi-arid and continental (Köppen climate classification BSk), and is drier and windier in comparison to most of the United States with greater temperature extremes. Much of this is ...

Wyoming's climate is generally semi-arid and continental (Köppen climate classification BSk) and is drier and windier in comparison to most of the United States with greater temperature extremes. [32] [33] Much of this is due to the topography ...
The plan is partly designed to start assessing the necessary steps required to keep up with the natural changes in the climate, environment, and ecosystems. According to the plan, predictions gathered in 2007 by a panel on climate change deem average air temperatures to change in North America by 1-3 °C between the years 2010 and 2039. [9]
Average January low and high temperatures at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC) are 11 / 23 °F (−11.7 / −5.0 °C) with an average winter snowfall of 75.59 inches, or 1.92 meters. Farther afield at the Campbell Airstrip is another weather station recording colder night temperatures in both summer and winter. [4]
The climate in the extreme north of Alaska is what would be expected for an area north of the Arctic Circle — it is an Arctic climate (Köppen ET) with long, very cold winters and short, cool summers. [3] Akclimate.org says the following: "The altitude above sea level influences the climate of a given area [in Alaska].
