A bit of a personal post on my end. This was a few years in the making but had to postponed several times due to the passing of my mom during Covid and obviously the continuation of Covid until we are safe to travel. And also why I made this trip back to the home country for the first time in 20 years.
This was taken at Central Highlands of Vietnam in Da Lat early morning. The fog and mists was just like home.
So... I checked out Sequim up there. Sequim is actually +0.05 for the year. Right in line with UIL and not drier than normal at all.
It appears the extreme drought is isolated to only your backyard. Because its almost perfectly normal where you work and farther to your west at UIL.
I have farmer family and city folk family. I much prefer visiting the farmer family for many reasons. If I want sun, we'll go far south. The rain and humid air really helps with the lush green grass for things like sheep, cows, butter, and cheese. I guess the same could be said for most of northern Europe. My gripe with that climate is the lack of extremes. Might snow even less than Seattle there.
You can always move and vote for the "animal first" party that actually exists in France. Very pro animal rights group. The benefit of a (pseudo) parliament - many different views you can vote for.
Lets do a summary since its a rainy Sunday morning with not much else to do!
2024 departures:
BLI +0.91
UIL -0.09
HQM +3.69
SEA WFO -0.32
SEA -3.65 (missing data)
OLM -0.32
PDX +4.01
SLE +4.94
EUG +4.24
AST +5.24
Those PDX NWS area anomalies are impressive.
SEA NWS area is closer to normal overall... but SEA really stands out as an outlier particularly given SEA WFO is very close to normal.
The talk of it being extremely dry is a false narrative when looking at the actual numbers.
