Debbie in Orlando Posted April 3, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2009 You just never know what you'll get in Alaska. We've been twice during the first week of Sept., in 06 and 08 and the weather was ok. We didn't have any hard rain, but did have sprinkles several times. Both times in Glacier Bay it was overcast, one time in Ketchikan was wet, one time was dry and sunny. Once in Juneau was sunny, once cloudy. You just never know and should plan to dress in layers. Alaska was GREAT even without perfect weather, you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2009 The first week can definately be better than later. :) Be well prepared, layers, rain gear, knit hat gloves, 2 pair of walking shoes. AND some great port plans. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebonybombshell Posted April 4, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2009 To answer your question, temps average about 53 to 65 degrees in Sept depending on your location. I hope this helps. http://www.alaskacruises.com/alaska_weather.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted April 4, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2009 To answer your question, temps average about 53 to 65 degrees in Sept depending on your location. You're talking about average highs for the day - the mean minimum at Yakutat (Hubbard Glacier) is 40.6 degrees, meaning there are some chilly mornings.
