Forecast, conditions and alerts: National Weather Service. Climate: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020. Temperatures and rainfall come from the nearest weather station. Snow, frost dates and day counts: the NOAA station at Seward 19n, AK (16 mi, snow) and Seward Airport, AK (1 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Sunrise and sunset are calculated from the town’s position. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
