It depends on when right now is and what part of Alaska we're talking about. Alaska is so large it has a variety of climates, many in fact. Alaska is much like it's own continent or country, there is arctic tundra, rainforest, boreal forest, desert, etc. The temperature at any given time varies greatly depending on where you are in the state.
It is 13 degrees F at 08:31 AM AST on 18 February 2012.
The record high is 100 degrees F, but it averages in the 60s.
Contrary to myth, Alaska really does have seasons: in fact, summer can be very beautiful and warm; temperatures can reach into the low 80s, and there is sunlight for nearly the entire day and night. (That is why Alaska is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun.) But compared to some states in the "lower 48," summer doesn't last very long-- it is generally about four to five weeks. Soon, after a brief autumn, it is winter. Alaska generally has very cold, long, and snowy winters, with temperatures remaining below zero for weeks at a time. (Note that the farther north you go, the more severe the winter; southern Alaska, in cities like Anchorage, has winters that are similar to Minneapolis or Chicago.) Also, in winter, Alaska only gets about one hour of sunlight, and sometimes there isn't any at all.

In the summer it is 87 f In the winter it is 37 f
Because Alaska is closer to the North Pole, and because the higher the elevation, the colder it is, there is snow on the mountain peaks even during the summer. I used to live in Alaska, so I know a little bit about it.
90 degrees Fahrenheit, but the record temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Alaska's average climate is characterized by frigid, winter-like temperatures, and snow. However, in the summer, it does warm up quite a bit.
Nome Alaska's temperature is 65 degrees F and Quito Ecuador is 96 degrees F
Temperatures in Alaska vary greatly between location and season. For example, during winter Fairbanks can get to -60 Fahrenheit, while in the summer temperatures above 90 Fahrenheit have been recorded. Overall, most of Alaska has cool to warm summers and cold winters.
I live in Fairbanks area, Central Alaska. I can remember summer temperatures having reached 102*F (not in the last 3 years). Many people may be surprised by those temperatures, but often do not take into consideration the near-24 hour sunshine.
Yes pumpkins are grown in Alaska. The best known pumpkins that are grown in Alaska are the Atlantic Giant Pumpkins. The record in Alaska for one of these extremely large pumpkins is 1780 lbs in 2011. Though the coldest state in the US, growers seem to agree that the sunlight and cooler summer temperatures grows them large in Alaska. The sun is available in some towns in Alaska 24 hours a day during the summer. Alaska holds more large vegetable records than any other state.
