		+	Juneau is a temperate rainforest, with a mild climate due to its proximity to the ocean.  Like most of southeast alaska, rain is ever present year round, with average tempertures in January of 32 °F (0 °C), and average temperatures in July of 65 °F (18.3 °C).  Precipitation occurs on average 230 days per year.

		+	==Passages==
		+
		+	* Mendenhall Bar Crossing
		+	The Mendenhall Bar, extending from downtown Juneau to Auke Bay should only be attempted at high tide, and only with local knowledge.  The channel is marked with buoys during the summer and permanent channel markers for some of its length.  The shallowest portion of the bar is located between the Green "17" marker, and the Red "14" marker, but shoaling can change the exact location of the deeper area.  During a 16' tide in August of 2018, depths were measured to be about 2-3' at the shallowest.  Note the bottom in the shallow areas is mud and sand with no significant rocks.  The majority of the passage is around 5-8' deep on a 16' high tide.  The area does completely dry as the tide goes out.

		+	==Islands==
		+	* Douglas Island
		+	Douglas island, to the west of Juneau, is a small community linked to Juneau by the Juneau-Douglas Bridge.  Douglas Has one harbor (Douglas Harbor) run by the city with transient moorage available.  No significant shopping is available within walking distance of Douglas Harbor.
		+
		+	==Navigation==
		+	Juneau-Douglas Bridge is noted to have a vertical clearance of 51 feet at MHHW.  There is a tide gauge on the west end of the bridge.  Passage underneath the bridge is required to access either Harris or Aurora Harbors.  For taller vessels, moorage is available at Douglas Harbor or the Intermediate Vessel Float.

Weather

Juneau is a temperate rainforest, with a mild climate due to its proximity to the ocean. Like most of southeast alaska, rain is ever present year round, with average tempertures in January of 32 °F (0 °C), and average temperatures in July of 65 °F (18.3 °C). Precipitation occurs on average 230 days per year.

Generally, the driest time of year is June through July.

Passages

• Mendenhall Bar Crossing

The Mendenhall Bar, extending from downtown Juneau to Auke Bay should only be attempted at high tide, and only with local knowledge. The channel is marked with buoys during the summer and permanent channel markers for some of its length. The shallowest portion of the bar is located between the Green "17" marker, and the Red "14" marker, but shoaling can change the exact location of the deeper area. During a 16' tide in August of 2018, depths were measured to be about 2-3' at the shallowest. Note the bottom in the shallow areas is mud and sand with no significant rocks. The majority of the passage is around 5-8' deep on a 16' high tide. The area does completely dry as the tide goes out.
