July 2007 redux would be fine. Right before my last year of college.

How hot was that month?

Probly one of the reasons the Finnish people continue to be so successful despite being in Europe way earlier is because when the Indo-European peoples came north in their chariots and on their horses just mowing everyone down, they were cold and their horses were freezing to death. Horses were very spiritual and understandably felt like a person to the ancient Indo-Europeans, knowing it was the reason they were conquering everything at the time. The Indo-Europeans were fascinated and relieved with the technological advancements the Uralic peoples had already innovated themselves, reindeer herding, saunas to keep warm, etc. They provided fish, warmth and kindness in harsh conditions to the people and their horses, who would have otherwise wiped them out and most of the the Y-chromosome N haplogoup.

That's good information to know. I've always been intrigued by the Finnish culture and their weather. Fun fact they are the northernmost metropolitan area with at least one million people. Helinski is on my bucket list to visit when I go to Europe someday.

Good. I’d guess we’ll be waiting awhile before we see a forest fire season like 2017 2018 in BC. Mother Nature did a lot of work those years. Thinning out the fuel load.

 

Hit 72F here in Victoria today, I'm guessing Shawnigan finally broke the 70F mark.

Pretty close to average west of the cascades. A brief heatwave.

Falls City is a nice place to stop by but not to live. I felt kinda bad for their HS football team when they would play Perrydale. They would get beat like 77-0 or so regularly. Their kids threw some low blows and sucker "helmet pushes" once they started getting blown out so that was unfortunate.

I take it you never made it to the Boondocks Tavern?

 

Had great deep fried mushrooms and the occasional Rocky Mtn. Oysters. Wash them down with a pitcher of Hamms.

 

We always got along with the locals even though it was a little rough

Going to be another hot summer, my water bill will be high again this year

Have you ever considered artificial grass? My coworker has one and he loves it.

What I would do for an average July. A short heatwave is fine and it would keep the heat misers happy.

An average July in Portland is just about perfection.

The heat misers are only happy when it’s above average.

 

Average or below average = miserable.

We are finally on the same page

Right but at least they could enjoy a few days of heat, plus we would get colder anomalies to balance out the hot ones.

75-85 and generally sunny is summer perfection in my opinion.   I would be fine with a summer that never went above 85... I just don't care for 50s and rain in the summer like we had later last week.

 

I guess disliking winter-like weather in the summer means you must want it to be 95 degrees and miserable every day.

75 to 85 is okay with me but remember we need rain every now and then. The northwest has been in drought conditions On and off for years now, mainly on. I know you are fine up there but not down here

Definitely need periodic rain as well. I guess not being too thrilled about 12 straight days with rain in the summer means I want every tree to die. Side note... I am well aware that its common to have a 1-2 week stretch of rainy weather in my area in June. As I have said several times.

 

Glad we are talking preferences again though.

First sunny morning from the start in what seems like weeks.

[TacomaWaWx]

Got some pictures out on the rowboat yesterday afternoon and a nice sunny morning here on Anderson Island.

[TT-SEA]

Weekend curse alive and well... at least this time its nice on both sides.

Tim - I think Sunday turns out nicer than you think.

I mentioned that yesterday.

Currently 72 and clear. What a beautiful day.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

73F and gorgeous. Kiddos all outside.

[MossMan]

Nice day!

[TT-SEA]

72 and sunny here. I find this day to be very pleasant. Hope that opinion is approved. Or not. It doesn't matter.

The beginning of the 4th of July weekend just coming into view on the EPS now at the end of the run... subject to change of course.
