Alaska, Yukon & Manitoba Travel Guide
Best time to go
The best time to visit Alaska and the Yukon is mid-May to mid-September as the days are long and temperatures surprisingly pleasant, although there is a chance of rain too. However, temperatures vary wildly depending on which region you plan to visit, with visitors sometimes experiencing all four seasons in one day! Your best chance of seeing the Northern Lights is during the cold, winter nights between September and April. In winter in Churchill, you can expect temperatures to range from a high of around -15°C to a low of -24°C (although the windchill can make that feel much colder). If you’re photographing the Northern Lights at night, prepare for extremely cold conditions. Spring in Churchill is quite cold as well, and while summer weather is warmer it can still bring cold and rain. Autumn (which is polar bear season) brings the same cooler temperatures as spring, but average temperatures will drop by November.
