Bummer. Let's talk again in January.

Well, you should be here in Oklahoma with me then. I was just in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. I'd take your weather over ours.

lennyba, my post was directed toward those posters who say "I understand that it always rains in Seattle...what should I pack?".

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering.

Ah. Thought you were complaining about the tedious sunshine.

Nothing's better than Seattle in the summertime.

Today marks the 36th day...chance of showers, with the possibility of showers getting better tomorrow.

It's gonna rain tomorrow.

The Fodors Guides think it is going to rain in Spain.
Whats with the ads in the original posts?

September has been crazy dry too!

Total rainfall for September was .03". Sorry, suze, that prediction did not pan out...at the airport, anyway.

Is this a travel blog or weather channel?

Well visitors are *always* asking about the rain in Seattle and I believe this IS a travel forum.

Chiming in--we are enjoying beautiful fall weather in Seattle.

Spirobulldog, two things are always fodder for discussion when Seattle is the topic: "It always rains in Seattle," and the identification of the Pike Place Market.

.03 total July 21 to the present

On the bright side, Seattle has been immune to "Global Warming" in recent years.


Nobody has invented (what they'll call) Global Drying yet.

Just an FYI...it has been HOT in San Diego this Summer. We are in middle of a heat wave again this week was 107 inland San Diego today.

2 weeks ago it was 102 at the coast...I'd like to move back home to Seattle.

I'm enjoying reading about the Seattle rain (or current lack thereof) because I'm planning a trip there next June.

Since I have heard so much about how rainy Seattle is, I'm finding this thread interesting.

Next June it will be considerably chilly... as that is the new local weather pattern, brought to you by, yes, you guessed it: "global warming".


In two of the last five Junes here, the temps have topped out at 66 and 67 degrees for the month, at nearby Boeing Field in Seattle.

The others were 78, 76, and 73 for month-high temps.

chepar, go to www.weatherbase.com and check out the historical data for Seattle and any comparison cities. I have lived in the Midwest, on both coasts (and the Gulf coast) and I can say with assurance that Seattle's annual rainfall is less than anywhere else I have lived.

Seattle has lovely weather. We mostly keep it a secret because it's crowded enough here already
