Summer in Seattle


Seattle's weather - it has a reputation. It's a frequent topic of conversation. Now we're hearing that Seattle hasn't had summer. And it certainly hasn't felt like the summers we've known in Ohio. 

This person is tweeting about Seattle Summer Minutes.  As of August 29, there had been 1,620 minutes at or above 80 degrees. (That's 27 hours.) Last week we had five straight days with temperatures in the 80s. 

"Temperatures for August 1 - 29 are running normal with a mean average temperature of 66.2 degrees. The average daily high is running 0.1 degrees below normal at 76.3 degrees compared to the normal 76.4 degrees. As of August 29, there are eight days that have reached a high temperature of 80 degrees or above. The warmest day has been August 21 when the temperature reached a high of 87 degrees; the coolest day has been August 12 when the temperature reached a low of 52 degrees." Click here to see the rest of the statistics for August.
