jcmcgaffey Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I assume you're talking about SEA's stats. Doesn't 70%+ of possible sunshine officially count as a sunny day? If so, seems like today might qualify. Regardless, it was a very cloudy month for sure, especially the first half with none of the first 15 days having more than 20% sunshine at SEA. Since then, there have been 6 partly to mostly sunny days. 11 days with .30"+ precip, so definitely a lot of soakers. Of course, it's been a little better further north, with SEA missing out on the rain shadow most the month. Instead it's been focused from north Seattle to Arlington.Ya I am talking SEA. Today may count for a sunny day although it was misting until about noon today and was never really sunny but pretty cloudy the entire day. The big difference this year to last year is The heavy rains last year were larger in amounts than this years heavy rains and more partly cloudy days in between.

Winterdog Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Wow, Arlington airport only measured 2.44" this month: https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KAWO/2017/3/31/MonthlyCalendar.html?req_city=Arlington&req_state=WA&reqdb.zip=98223&reqdb.magic=1&reqdb.wmo=99999#calendar 33% of what SEA got.Also odd that I recorded over 11" of precip during the month and I live less than 8 miles SE of the airport. I recorded 2.2" Tuesday through Wednesday this week alone! I have standing water on my property and had a mallard duck swimming around in one puddle Wednesday morning.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Alaska was historically cold in March, at least I know Anchorage and Fairbanks were. The first 30 days of March were below average at Fairbanks. Yesterday broke the streak. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Well, your area has been drier relative to normal than most the region so far this year. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterdog Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Interesting. Well, your area has been drier relative to normal than most the region so far this year. YearPNormWRCC-NW.pngYes that is true especially for January/February but March has been well above normal in the Lake Stevens, Granite Falls area. That map shows Arlington in the 110 to 130% of normal for the 3 month period. Other reports near Arlington show well above normal totals for March. I'm inclined to think that airport total is in error considering the airport shows a total of .94" precip for February and only 0.03" for January! Fire season starting early there.

Anti Marine Layer Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 People still posting in the March topic, even though it is April. It's a mild spring day here in Southern California. Most trees are in full spring bloom here, except for ours, which just has some leaves due to being pruned in late February and the one across the street, which has no leaves due to being overpruned by a different gardener. If they stay in the dead of spring for much longer, I would have to think that tree is permanently dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
