All-time temperature records fell across Southcentral Alaska on Monday.
Temperatures in the 80s and 90s were reported across the region, according to the National Weather Service. Among the places setting new records:
• Talkeetna, 94 degrees. The previous record was 91 on three previous dates: Sunday; June 14, 1969; and June 26, 1953.
• Cordova, 90. The old record was 89 on July 16, 1995.

Temperatures are expected to hit the 80s again around the region on Tuesday, though it will be cooler than Monday, the Weather Service said. Temperatures are expected to continue falling as the week progresses, with more seasonally normal temperatures later in the week.
In Homer:
We got to the high 60's at the cabin. With no rain for the last few weeks and slight chance for any in the coming one, the garden is suffering. Our well water seems to be low and collected rainwater is depleted. That's bad news for the seeds we spread earlier hoping to fill in the bare ground from last year's construction projects. What a roller coaster of weather we've had from a record cold May to record highs in June.
Friends spent the Father's Day weekend with us and took Bob out fishing so we have some nice halibut in the freezer!
