Here north of Seattle, April was cooler than normal.
In mid-March, our total rain fall was above average for 2024, and also above average since October 2023, when the rainy season starts.
The cold spring weather completely turned off our rain, and we are now well below average for the season and the year.
The news reports barely mention the cool temps.
Instead, they only talk about drought, drought, drought, which, of course, can only be explained as "man made" drought, drought, drought!
