mountainhouse Posted March 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I see a lot of questions about what the weather is like for a given month. I've always used Weatherbase. You plug in the city, and it shows historic weather information. Information is a bit more detailed for larger cities. Their website is here.

Trailblazer99 Posted March 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2009 To save all that searching, the historic and current weather reports for all Alaska ports are on one page here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorage1977 Posted March 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The following summary from the last link is great. This is exactly what I keep trying to convince folks... now I have proof :) Come early in the season for the dry weather. May beats September in my book hands down. It is both more dry on average, in all ports plus there is more daylight in May than September. the months with the least rain are May, June or July depending on the specific location. the month with the most rain is September the month with the warmest temperatures is July. the months with the coolest temperatures are May and September. Whittier gets 2-5 times as much rain as Seward - a possible consideration for those of you planning a one-way cruise. Additionally, shoulder season prices are not all equal either. May tends to be more affordable than September because the selling season is 5 months shorter. Good find... kukos to whoever put this in one place.
