I’m really not sure if it’s worth even responding to you since you are kind of like that annoying fly on the wall who says things that don’t make sense…but Seattle and near the Puget sound was the exception of the PNW last summer. Many stations across the PNW were record hot just last summer. Not to mention years like 2015,2017 2018 too. If anything we were due for a normal or cooler than average summer. 

Welcome to my world.

Apparently there was a NOAA COOP station really close to my current location from 1967-1969. Some stats for the winters of 1967/68 and 1968/1969:
1967/68: 11.6" of snow
Dec: 4.6" of snow, 
     Coldest day: 33/15
Jan: 7.0" of snow
     Coldest days: 33/23 and 30/24

1968/1969: 39" of snow
Dec: 18.7" of snow
     Coldest day: 15/7, "blizzard conditions in area" (Wind NE 30 MPH, not sure if that's gusts or sustained), next day 30/8         "sleet till noon and ice 1/4" thick"
Jan: 19.8"
     1/1: thawing, high of 35, but apparently only a high of 27 in E PDX
     1/2: "roads clear after worst snow since 1950"
     1/6: "snow almost gone"
     1/24 (NE 30MPH, not sure if gusts or sustained) & 25: 26/17
     1/28: 30/16 
Feb: 0.5" of snow
 

Another COOP station 7 miles SSE of me has data from 1980-2006:
In Nov 1985, it recorded a 26/18 and a 27/9 day and 3.5" of snow for the month
In Feb 1989, it recorded a 14/8 day and 2.5" of snow (and another 1.5" in March 1989)
In Dec 1990, it recorded a 18/11 day
In Dec 1998: it recorded a 22/15 and a 27/12 day

The December 15/7 blizzard day followed by the 30/8 icestorm day must have been really fun!

We will have a few more 90s and probably a couple hundred degree days eventually. It is just our climate now. But this is not as bad as it could be, so we will score that a small triumph. 

I’m feeling our next heatwave the second or third week of July. Hopefully just 2-3 days in the 90s again before Phil’s late July ice box kicks in.

Looks like it actually was a 11/7 (midnight high) day and a 31/9 day, but the COOP site must've recorded days from 8 AM to 8 AM or something like that

Think I saw a positive splat! Temp down to 55 with moderate rain.

You're so lucky it's raining.  Wish it was raining here.  I'm tired of watering the garden every day so it doesn't fry.   62F here.

[T-Town]

Something for everyone the last two days.  

[Omegaraptor]

Looks like the coldest departures from average around July 4 will probably be going down south into CA. If anything they need it more than we do.

[TacomaWx]

Down to 58 now…0.02” this evening and 3.58” this month. 

[NWbyNW]

The only place rain is coming down on the west coast is parts of Washington and British Columbia.  Some cool air is associated with this rain if I understanding the maps I am looking at correctly.

And the rain is settling down the out of control late June (so weird) pollen. My eyes were nearly glued shut this morning with the wind whipping the pollen everywhere. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

58.8˚F. Only about 30˚F cooler than yesterday at the same time.

[MossMan]

Just a slight difference…

[TT-SEA]

Western OR is enjoying sunshine this evening while it's dark and wet farther north.   So close and yet so far.   The ECMWF says that places from Olympia northward will be waiting until Thursday afternoon to see much sun.    2 days away.    While western OR is crystal clear again tomorrow.    

[Cloud]

That band went through produced 0.01 for SEA. And with that, the short lived 5 days dry streak is over.

Might have been the longest dry streak of the summer. At least we have an epic winter season to look forward to! I’m calling it now, a White Thanksgiving, a White Christmas, and a White all of January. February will be sunny and warm. 

[Meatyorologist]

KSEA actually spiked to 65F, meaning there is no record set. Still ties 6/13-6/14, 2002, when the high temperature dropped 26F from 94°F to 68°F as the all time June record.

Even Tuesday will be one of those weirder summer days where clouds and showers increase throughout the day. Very well could have a noon high temperature. Or a midnight one if things don't cool off so quickly! 

Not a bad read

[Tyler Mode]

Ended the day with beautiful sunshine and a high of 71.  About perfect.

[Meatyorologist]

I was quite pleased with the clouds today. Yesterday got a bit brutal when it was still in the 80s at my house while literally everywhere else cooled off.

So you read the Weather Forums each day and my posts bug you, but you rarely participate in the conversation. 

Your reactions to my posts started long before I made the conspiracy theory that you are Jesse or even mentioned your name.

[Blizzard777]

58* yikes

.05 precipitation today and the house has finally cooled to 73* 

Taking some folks up Hurricane Ridge tomorrow but low clouds could ruin any views.  Hoping we get some broken clouds though…time will tell

[Kayla]

Couple of severe warned storms with 75+mph winds narrowly missed me this evening which is just fine by me! Still put on quite the show. Still a decent amount of snow in the mountains as well! And to think the first snow up there usually arrives again in just a short 6-7 weeks!

Today last year, I was just 1 degree short of the all time record high in Klamath Falls. (104 in August 1972)

Still smashed daily records... was 96 on 6/28/1937 until hitting 103 in 2021. 

The monthly record was also broken for a second day in a row. Old June record was 100, which occurred only three times, 6/22-6/23/1992, and 6/30/1918.

3 consecutive days were over 100 (101/103/100 June 27-29). They can go several years and not see 1.

My god, that is gorgeous. I know a guy who's going to Montana State and he reciprocated your tales of cold weather and leafless trees.

00z GFS is going to do something moronic. I spot two spurious features already at D4.

[TacomaWx]

Wet

[Deweydog]

Not sure if it was talked about yesterday, but it was probably the most spastic DP profiles associated with a strong marine push that I can recall seeing.

Nah, I didn't notice. What was weird about them?

Yeah we ended up about a month behind schedule here but things have really taken off now. The new growth on the trees this year is the most I’ve seen. Pollen is also incredibly bad this year but I’m not complaining!
