This live camera looks out over Sitka, a small port town on the outer coast of southeastern Alaska. The view is useful for checking how the Pacific weather is moving in before a boat trip, a flight or a hike. The page also shows local time and a three-day forecast.
About Sitka
Sitka sits on the western side of Baranof Island, facing the open Pacific and a scatter of forested islands. It was the capital of Russian America before the territory was sold to the United States in 1867, and traces of that period, including the Russian Orthodox St. Michael's Cathedral, remain part of the town. The landscape is shaped by mountains, rainforest and a sheltered harbor, and the town has a calm, maritime character that differs from larger Alaskan cities.
What the camera shows
The camera is listed as an embedded live player in the other category, so its view is best judged on the stream itself. Because Sitka's weather changes quickly, the view is most rewarding when you watch the sky and water conditions over the course of an hour, especially in the long daylight of summer. Cloud cover and rain are common, so a clear moment is worth noticing. Depending on the view, you may see boats moving in the harbor or the outline of the surrounding islands.
Practical notes
Sitka has a cool, wet maritime climate, with mild summers and rainy, mild winters. The period from late spring to early autumn is generally the most comfortable for visiting, with the most daylight. Sitka is reached mainly by air or by ferry, and nearby places such as Angoon and Juneau can be useful for comparing conditions along the same coast. Check the live weather on this page before you travel.
