Sure. And you'd think it would be pretty easy for you to acknowledge your microclimate will often be cloudier/wetter than other places in King County, sometimes for extended periods.

 

That was clearly the case from mid June to mid July. Even though, YES, it was definitely an unusually cloudy first couple weeks of July for the whole area.

Dreariness index.

 

North Bend is in the foothills. Not the same as the lowlands.

I acknowledge that ALL the time.     

 

And it was bad EVEN FOR MY AREA.    How many times do we have to discuss this?    :rolleyes:

Sometimes it’s going to be cloudier than normal. For example, late June and early July.

 

Sometimes, it’s also going to be sunnier than normal. For example, January, March, second half of April, May, and most of June.

No sh*t.

 

And I said the timing sucked.     People complain here.   You are already an expert!

Doesn't sound entirely convincing yet, but this is the first time in 2019 I've seen any Medford AFD mention a t'storm outbreak.

It's not all that rare in August for these to materialize, something to watch I guess.

It was not a solid month of cloudiness/rain here either. But close to it. A week or two straight of crap is par for the course here in the summer. Not a month. It was quite unusual even for this area.

 

You do realize that even the highest peaks of the Cascades get a decent amount of sun in the summer. Even Mount Rainier is visible and in the sun frequently in the summer. You guys act like I live at 12,000 feet in northern Alaska or in Siberia somewhere. :rolleyes:

So now it wasnt a whole month as you have repeated over and over? I am so tired of the lies, it was either a whole month or it wasn't, get with it Tim

I don't think paying out of state tuition is ever worth it.

 

I am a college grad, but admittedly the cost of college rises every year, while the value of a degree continues to decline. If you do not have a chosen career you are passionate about, then spend as little money as possible. These days you can end up getting a better job/making more money, by going to a trade school and spending a fraction of what college costs.

Exactly!! College, especially universities, are nothing but snobby indoctrination societies.

Already close to 2” of rain out on the west coast of the island today.

pretty decent totals for early August. Should be some good totals out on the Olympic Peninsula tomorrow morning too.

85 and sunny here.

 

The sun never shines here... so this is a pleasant surprise.    It normally is cloudy and raining on 100% of the days.    Even when its 95 degrees in Seattle... its usually in the 40s and raining here.   Crazy microclimate.

You characterized it as a month straight of extreme cloudiness for the whole area. It was not.

 

 

Oddly enough... I also praised a couple nice weekends in that period.   And said on 7/11 that it was just about the most perfect summer day possible.

 

It was an unusually cloudy month overall.    That is all.   IT WAS.

 

Lets keep discussing it though.   I am sure it will change!

There you go. FOR YOU. That's not all you said before. I simply set the record straight - SEA's stats did not reflect a month straight of mainly cloudy weather. 

 

That is all.  :)

For much of King County actually... SEA is near the water which helped a bit. My main complaint is that it was crappy EVEN FOR HERE. But Scott Sistek and Cliff Mass acknowledged that it was unusually cloudy in Seattle as well.

 

https://komonews.com/weather/scotts-weather-blog/seattles-july-so-far-gloomier-than-our-snowy-february

 

This first half of July so far, Seattle has had a whopping score of 117 total over the first 15 days -- meaning an average daily score of... 7.8. E-gads! That's a typical winter score.

 

Actually, it's even worse than a typical winter score! This past snowy February "only" rated a 7.67!!! January was a 7.4, December a 7.5 and November a 6.9! What?!?

 

But the theme is clear so far for sun fans: Soak up what ever sunshine you can get this summer!

 

 

So glad we are discussing this again.  :rolleyes:  

 

It happened.  It sucked.   Move on.

The last 2 weeks of June were basically the same.  

 

The unusually cloudy period ran from June 18 - July 18.

Remember, those inter-hourly readings can be fool’s gold...

 

My guess is they record a high of 89 as of the 5pm reading, then sneak up to 91 at some point in the asphalt boosted, ever-overperforming 5-8pm time frame.

Brian will bust a nut all over a 7pm high of 91.

I sure don’t miss all of that.

 

He is going wild over all the 60+ lows at PDX. He thinks the blob is causing the marine layer to be warmer lol. He's like the Tim of the PDX weather community.

One Tim (usually on ignore) is enough for me. ;)

 

But that is definitely pretty silly. It’s funny, he was the first person I thought of when you first mentioned it earlier.

      First of all, that article was about more than just the lunch issue - they're trying to pass laws to reduce workers' compensation when injured on the job and reducing unemployment. Second, how does telling people who work they don't need a lunch break being on the side of the worker, as you like to claim to be? The people who wanted the LA law changed were the rich fat cats you sh*t on in previous (and I'm sure future) posts. See what you say about Tim. See what you said about my aunt. You couldn't be more of a fraud if you tried.

      I'm not the one who constantly uses that phrase as if you're the spokesperson of every person who works. Aka a fraud, just like that senate candidate.

      Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasn’t forgotten where he came from. I understand you can’t relate to that. To you and other democrats “working people” is code for criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal immigrants. To the rest of us it means people who actually move this nation forward.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Cloud seeding is a form of public relations to say “at least we’re trying” to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isn’t going to do anything to a storm that is large enough to produce appreciable precipitation. It might cause a few sprinkles from a cumulus cloud that otherwise wouldn’t have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft — you are stealing the water from areas downstream of where you seeded. The ironic thing is that project Stormfury got axed in the late 60s after they seeded a hurricane and it happened to make a left turn to the Eastern seaboard shortly thereafter. It would be funny if this makes them think twice about seeding in the UAE, although it’s a bummer that they didn’t seed this storm (or at least they claim to have not seeded it LOL).
