Not sure if this is a local observation that it is in fact lightly raining in Seattle at the moment, or a glib observation of the stereotype. Just adding this for context for other readers, not a correction or dispute.

The all time record high in Seattle (per the site’s data) was 107, last June. Other data I looked up shows 108. There are of course discrepancies between different data sources, my localized weather showed 112 that day. “Officially”, several days I’ve experienced >100 temps in my 20 years here are in the records as lower.

We typically have little to no precipitation during the summer. And of course every weather statistic varies by year, persistently higher summer temps have arrived (albeit lagging behind many other places) along with a much longer and more severe wildfire season over the last few years.

I’m crabby about the rain right now, but I fully expect to be relieved by it in a few short months.

It literally was raining at the moment.

But in fact this April and May are unusually cold and wet, very annoyingly so.

I’m annoyed right there with you! Here’s hoping for a mild summer.

“And for me it was Tuesday.”
