The temperature in Anchorage, Alaska, soared to 90 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday, shattering the city’s all-time record-high temperature by 5 degrees.

The previous record of 85 degrees Fahrenheit was set in 1969.

Alaska is no stranger to the 90s. Way back on July 28, 1919, Fairbanks even made a run at 100 when the mercury topped out at 99. The closest it’s been to 90 in Fairbanks recently was on August 5th, 1994, when it recorded a 93-degree temperature.

The normal high temperature in Anchorage during early July is 65 degrees. Temperatures are expected to approach or crack 80 degrees through at the day today.

Joey Chestnut won his 12th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th. It’s his fourth win in a row.
