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!
I’ve been hearing about our alleged “draught” for several years. Seattle’s average rainfall is 39.34 inches. It has been over 40 inches in seven of the last ten years and three of the last four. The “dryest” year had 33.4 inches.
