If we are talking about PDX... it was pretty crazy wet.

The April/May period ended up the 3rd wettest in history there.    And just .49 away from beating out 1996 for the wettest April/May period ever.  

Side note... 1996 turned quite dry at the end of May.   There was .44 in June, .73 in July, and .25 in August at PDX that year which totals 1.42 inches compared to the long-term average of 2.87 inches for JJA.    So about 50% of average for the next 3 months after setting the record for wettest April/May.

I would tend to agree with you on the April/May period though I was trying to not to incite a riot by saying so.  That said, I was referring more to the water year/YTD in my characterization.

The forecast said it would hit 71F today, it did not.  It hit 63F but was noticeably muggy.  Overcast all day, no clear sunshine.  It started to sprinkle which became some random stray showers.  It is now cool, 57F. The sky was pretty much formless today except for defined clouds towards the mountains.

Rather dark, almost dreary.  It was never bright today.  Kind of odd lighting.

The 0z GFS is just flat out disgusting.  Might rival June 1856 for rainfall if it's correct.

I will say we had a very interesting cloud burst here today.  Rained about the hardest I've seen for about 5 minutes.

Apparently there are at least some people on here that are ok with having no summer this year.  The only good news is excessive wetness this time of year is often a pretty good sign for the following winter.  I was sure hoping to see a lot more cool NW flow this year though.

Kind of interesting how people who haven't lived in the NW for a long time have gotten the idea every summer is absolute perfection.  While nice summers are the norm they don't always happen.  I suppose we were due for a bad one.

We are three days into meteorological summer. Plus this is the May thread.
