Craig Alaska Weather Information

Prince of Wales Island is located within a rainforest. This means rain and lots of it. When planning your trip to Prince of Wales Island plan on bringing extra clothes and focus on layering. Waterproof and breathable fabrics like Gortex are the norm but don't expect to stay totally dry. When it comes to "waterproof" materials, equipment failure is a common occurance. One item that should be a must on any outerwear list is shin-high rubber boots. Just as insulated Carhart overalls have become a staple for all rural Alaskans, ExtraTuf boots define residents of southeast Alaska. Wet clothes are excusible. Wet feet are not. If you can't purchase these down south, do yourself a favor and purchase a pair in Ketchikan before embarking on your Prince of Wales adventure. Another good idea is a wide brim waterproof rain hat. Outdoor Research makes these as does REI, or Recreational Equipment Incorporated. Average annual precipitation is 120 inches. Summer temperatures range from 49-82 degrees and winter averages from 54 to -2.
