ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - April is known as a transition for much of Alaska. It’s the beginning of break-up season and the end of consistent winter weather, but it’s also normally relatively dry. April is the driest month on average for both Anchorage and Fairbanks. That, however, has not been the case this year. As of Monday, Anchorage has seen 1.13″ of precipitation. That’s more than 0.80″ more than normal and putting this year in the top 10 for wettest Aprils.
