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
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 69/50 there was no rainfall. The highest wind speed was 18 MPH out of the E. The sun was out 68% of the time. For today the average H/L is 67/45 the record high of 89 was set in 1965 the record low of 25 was set in 1974 the most rainfall of 1.70” fell in 1932. Last year the H/L was 77/53 and there was 0.41” of rainfall.
The overnight low here in MBY was 52 and the current temperature is 55 with cloudy skies.
