I know that is not a good way to record temps, however, the sun in summer is very intense in Fairbanks, just as it is here in Marquette year round it seems.
Just looked through for Fairbanks from May to September 2005. Saw plenty of days in the 70s, a fair number in the 80s, a a decent number in the 60s.... but saw nothing close to 100, let alone 107.
Apparently it read something different earlier today. Kaul edited it. Whatever the source, its safe to say that the all time record high for Fairbanks, Alaska is greater than 90 F, but less than 100 F lol.
According to this Fairbanks had a 95/76 day on the 26th of June in 1915...but I think that 76 is a typo. 66F is much more likely. 67F as a max low has been recorded multiple times.
How did you find this? I want to see that table for Seattle but I can't seem to find one. Why would NOAA make such a table for Fairbanks but not Seattle unless they're just really good at hiding the links to them.

That is an unofficial table produced by the NWS Anchorage office.
However, you will find the Regional Climate Centers a good source for such information: Regional Climate Centers
The Western site at UNR should be fine for Seattle. I don't find the MRCC as helpful; fortunately, the HPRCC also maintains data for Minnesota.

Description says 96F. Ah, Wiki, don't you just love it?

I just checked too. Most days from May-August are in the 60s and 70s, a few were in the 80s. But no 90s, let alone 107F lol. It's fair to say that the poster exaggerated a bit about the summer warmth in interior alaska
Well the best time I can recall for my "record"temp. Would be about July 20 around .2:00 pm I drove about 5 miles from our motel to an industrial area where I found shade in this old metal bldg. With a dirt floor. It was hot! Took off my shirt,was wearing shorts, and sandals . The mosquitos came out big time that evening at the outdoor barbecue at the motel. I recall the absolute need to find shade, Fairbanks had few trees.
The next day we all drove to Denali , most of us had our tops down, and a couple of cars overheated also.
According to The Weather Channel, which is a source of some reliability, the all-time record high for Fairbanks is 94F set on June 22, 1991. This figure is also corroborated with most of the other sources I've seen, including Fairbanks's own website, plus hearsay. It looks like that 107F was recorded in the sun, and the heating from the metal building corrupted the reading further.
