The great majority of the state uses Alaska Standard Time (AKST), UTC - 9 hours, and Alaska Daylight Saving Time (AKDT), UTC - 8 hours. The Aleutian Islands that are west of 170° west longitude use Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST), UTC - 10 hours, and Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Saving Time (HADT), UTC - 9 hours. There is also a village of native Americans, Metlakatla, Alaska, in one of the southern parts of Alaska adjacent to British Columbia that stay on Metlakatla Time (MeST), UTC - 8 hours, all year.

How long are the seasons in alaska?

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.


Does Alaska have summer?

Yes, depending on where you are. It can get into the 90's in the interior part of the state, and is typically in the 60's and 70's in southern Alaska. Even on the North Slope the temperature rarely gets below freezing, and typically sits in the 50's in the day.
