It's a shame Slog can't have some sort of a banner ad that references the weather forecast someplace on the page, maybe toward the bottom, and have it expand and disrupt your web browser if/when you inadvertently hover over it.
Damn Seattle! We complain when it rains for months on end and we all grow webbed feet and mold, and now we complain because its too sunny! SMH. If this is "global warming" or climate change I say "bring it on!".
@5 & 7 - Relax. This doesn't happen every year. Soon enough we'll have another summer where it rains daily through mid-August and only cracks 70 three times.
@ 9 Actually this happens most summers when it rains rarely, and doesn't get above 80, or that the way its been in the 20 years it can be. The last two summer were exceptions to the rule.
@ 5 & 7, how can you complain, its not too hot and we still get rain 9 months of the year. Look in another month it will be back to rain, you will be fine.
This is why I love Seattle, the summers here are the best. Not too hot and little rain.
@14 You're on target. The fluke this year is that the two week patches of perfect weather haven't been broken up by a brief two day rinse. A complete lack of perfect weather fortnights was the major fluke of the past two summers.
I love this, but I'm a fan of sun. Notice I did not say "heat" - I am not a fan of heat. Sun can create heat, but it doesn't have to (as we're experiencing now for instance).
Seattle's consecutive dry day record vs. consecutive rainy day record?
A) Dry > Rainy
B) Rainy > Dry
C) Dry = Rainy
Rain is great but after the past few years, this stretch of sun is beautiful!
Perhaps this spell is out of the ordinary and that might be alarming but the lack of sun in recent years is also extreme.

@4, 14 Amen. I'm loving this shit!
@19 Pussy.
Sun is always welcome.
