Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
I can deal with this weather here last couple days and what's expected thru the next week. I love temps 50-70° range. I start to complain once above 70° and below 50° most preferred temps is in 60's especially 65° that's perfection for me also best to keep DP under 50.
lol yeah that year had a better summer but did not like most of the other months in 2011.
Places like Sunriver can get cold all year round, but it was pretty difficult for K-Falls get colder than 35 degree lows in mid-summer.
The solar storm of several days ago is circling back to aim at Earth.
More disruptions possible

I think this summer main heat stays Cascade Eastward to Eastern US with worst of it focused in TX and Upper Midwest/Great Lakes Region. But should still see warmer than normal here Western WA and OR with a few very warm/hot spells. Precip could be mixed bag but overall slightly below normal, I think we can fire up a few good thunderstorm events of course as per usual mostly East of Cascades and Southwestern OR. I expect driest to be around Southwestern U.S. maybe some of Northern U.S. portions particularly the Prairies. Eastern U.S. will be a toss up but could get busy with Tropical Storms and Hurricanes particularly in the Gulf of Mexico/Southeast and the Caribbeans Aug-Oct esp September. Also thinking late September could start to get active up here in the Pacific Northwest!!!.
