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 81/57 there was no rainfall. The sun was out 87% of the possible time. The highest wind was 14MPH out of the SE.

The July 2024 mean so far at Grand Rapids is 70.8 that is a departure from average of -2.0° The highest so far has been just 86 if that holds to the end of the month it will be the coldest maximum for any July since 2000 and the 3rd coldest maximum for any July at Grand Rapids.
