Wildfire season is winding down across Alaska with lower temperatures, much higher humidities and more frequent rains. According to the Saturday's wildfire perimeter analyses from the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center, just over 1 million acres burned in Alaska this season. #akwx #Wildfire2025

Alaska wildfire during July in burned about 633,00 acres (989 square miles) = 256,000 ha in Alaska Interagency Coordination Center analysis. This is above the past 32 year median but not dramatically so. About 85 percent of the total burned during the first half of the month. @anisian @Climatologist49
