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
It was a hell of a night. In the next few weeks I’ll share some of my quality shots and videos from that night. Was an amazing naked eye show for 6 hours.
Side note, the property really came alive this weekend.
Warm spikes in May are totally normal and have been happening forever. Look at records back to the 1800s. You kind of have a doomsday streak like a few others here. Sort of an echo chamber in here where the prevailing sentiment is wildfires should never happen and are shocking and only the result of a climate change.
