Is Seattle cloudy a lot?
It’s the only place I’ve ever lived
where the weather forecast includes
“sun breaks.”

Fact 1, NYC gets more rain than Seattle.

Fact 2, Seattle gets around 220 days of overcast per year.

Interesting thing about Fact 2 is that overcast here is not like in other parts of the country. We have a Mt that is 3 miles high, 60 miles from Seattle. (Mt Rainier). On "overcast" days you can often still see the peak. The "overcast" is actually alto cirrus cloud cover that blocks the sun but is zero threat of rain.
