Cascadia_Wx Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Three dry days seems like such an arbitrary goalpost. Is that the time it take to make homemade jerky outside? Re-enact Woodstock?

Still child’s play compared to the heat we saw last year, though. Although humidity will probably make it feel just as bad if not worse. Tbf, 102°F with a dewpoint of 80°F is a lot harder on the body than 115°F with a dewpoint of 50°F. Though the dry 115°F would be much harder on infrastructure.

You want to know why people hate this pattern... because our usual breaks have been missing. It's so simple. You rain lovers just don't get it. We can have very wet patterns that are still tolerable because we get meaningful breaks. This April-June takes the cake in terms of misery. Bar none. And almost everyone in the real world agrees.

Cascadia_Wx Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I work outside most days, for the record. It’s been a wet spring, definitely been using the rain gear! Honestly, spending 80% of every work day in a climate controlled home officing bellyaching about PERSISTENT RAINFALL on a weather forum sounds a lot worse than working in the outdoors, regardless of the weather. 1 1 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you, I never hear anyone when out and about just randomly lamenting the weather that is occurring unless someone mentions something or asks the proverbial "heh, how bout this weather" which virtually never happens either, maybe once every 15 or 20 trips in to populated areas with stores we need to visit.

TacomaWaWx Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 This is probably all for the preferences thread…I have a couple co-workers myself included who love this weather. It’s better than the oppressive heat in other parts of the country is me and my managers opinion. Overall I’ve heard a ton of negative comments about the weather overall though from customers and most co-workers. Personally I carry around little buttons with weenies on them and pin them on their shirts to let ‘em know they’re being weenies. 3 1 1 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontal Snowsquall Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 1 hour ago, snow_wizard said: There is some connection between extreme monsoon years in India and big NW winters. For example the wettest month ever recorded on Earth was 366 inches in July 1861, and the wettest year ever recorded was 1985 with 1000 inches in areas near this location. Both of those years led to extraordinarily extreme blocking episodes that froze the balls off the NW. Small sample size obviously, but there is some connection. Interestingly both years had exceptional summer weather in the NW after June. That's an interesting correlation. I'd like to see a bigger sample size but I'm hoping it holds true for this upcoming winter and we get at least one big Arctic Blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
