In Alaska, a summer of extreme weather continues

"Alaska is having a rough summer. Following a July that was Alaska’s hottest month on record, erratic and unusual precipitation totals have caused downpours in some parts of the state and sparked fires and water restrictions in others."

This is quite an extensive report actually. Quite interesting

A report from Alaska summer 2019.
Fires, heavy rainfall, record temperature. ,low rainfall, rainfall records from atmospheric river event,

warmer-than-usual waters in the surrounding Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas and the North Pacific ,

In Anchorage, June and July were the warmest months ever recorded, with nighttime lows that rarely dropped below 50 degrees for most of the summer.

Such a small country with such incredible weather contrasts this summer?. What is the distance from one end to the other of Alaska?
