Yeah, in terms of total precip it was almost even with 11.29" at SEA and 10.86" at PDX. Just a bunch more light drizzle days at SEA. 1985 was one of our more atypical years on record precip wise. It rained more in June-September than it did in January, February, and December combined. Those rare years where we break out of our usual Mediterannean precip pattern monotony are often fun ones. 1993 is another and then 2013 a bit more recently.

I would say it is on topic! Smoke is weather.

That PDX/Sea delta for 1985 is crazy!

It's only 85 degrees right now. Absolutely frigid.

Several lightning starts that flared up recently.
