As 2014 draws to a close, it seems likely to be the first calendar year that recorded no sub-zero temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, the National Weather Service reported Sunday.
The news of warm weather in a cold town comes shortly after NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration both confirmed that 2014 is set to be the warmest year in recorded human history.
According to NWS, the last time that Anchorage saw temperatures that dropped below zero was December 26, 2013—although the city briefly hit zero degrees exactly on February 11 of this year. The balmy forecast for the next few days means it is safe to say Anchorage will not see any negative temperatures before the year is up, NWS meteorologist Mike Ottenweller told the Alaska Dispatch News.
“With as much certainty as a meteorologist can put behind anything, there is no chance we will go below zero before the end of the year,” Ottenweller said.
