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
Just squeaked out 1.01" on the day to go with 1.03" yesterday for rare consecutive 1"+ days. I've never seen that in May before, and could find only 2 instances in the EUG historical record (looks like they didn't make it to an inch today).
Up to 32.5" on the water year (Oct. 1 to date), which is close to normal and a big improvement on last year's ~26" at this point.
Only managed to get 0.01” of rain but at least it did rain a bit. Hopefully there will be more the next few days because it looks like it might get dry for a while after Tuesday.
