During this period, you'll experience average temperatures ranging from 55°F to 78°F, making it comfortable for outdoor activities. The extended daylight, with up to 19 hours of sun, allows for more sightseeing and adventure. This is ideal for couples and families looking to explore Alaska's natural beauty, as most wildlife viewing tours, hiking trails, and boat excursions are fully operational.

Travelers interested in winter sports or viewing the Northern Lights will find the period from November to March more suitable. While temperatures are colder, averaging 15°F to 30°F, this is prime time for activities like skiing, snowboarding, and dog mushing. The long, dark nights increase your chances of seeing the aurora borealis, particularly in areas just outside the city with less light pollution. While some attractions may have reduced hours, many winter-specific tours are available.
