Editing Ambler, Alaska (section)

==Climate==
Ambler is located in the continental climate zone. Temperatures have  ranged from 93F to -74F.  The [[Kobuk River]] is navigable from early June to mid-October. Ambler has a [[subarctic climate]] with long, extremely cold winters and short, warm summers. Temperatures in the winter often drop below -40&nbsp;°C/°F, just like most of interior [[Alaska]], but it frequently gets mild spells where the temperatures stay above 10&nbsp;°F (-12&nbsp;°C) for several days in a row because of the relative closeness to the Pacific Ocean. It occasionally gets above freezing in winter, even in January, although it is not very common. Places further East like [[Fairbanks]] and [[Fort Yukon]], for comparison, are usually lightly affected by the mild Pacific air. Ambler is also wetter because of this. Summers are quite variable too, as the weather alternates between warm days and cooler days. The highest temperature of any given year is about 80&nbsp;°F (26&nbsp;°C) and occasionally above 86&nbsp;°F (30&nbsp;°C), occurring as recently as June 18 and 19, 2013 with a maximum temperature of 90&nbsp;°F (32&nbsp;°C) recorded on both days.
