My husband has lived here for 14 years. I've been here 3.

He was talking last night with his friends that he hopes it's not a wet summer like 1998...is this true? Was there a summer that rained the whole time?

The 6 weeks of summer in Seattle is the only thing making me hold onto living here...if it rains all summer I might just lose it.

Unfortunately your husband is not kidding. It does happen every so many years that summer in the Puget Sound is limited to spotty clear and warm days (2-3weeks of sun sprinkled in from June to August). Then again every so many years there is also a heat wave and you'll see a full 10 weeks of amazing weather. I will be there in just 11 days and I sincerely hope the sun does show up this year.

This will be my fourth summer here, and after last year, I wouldn't have a problem at all with a wet summer.. Spent 35 baking HOT summers in SoCal so rain isn't a problem for me at all.. .Plus I wouldn't have to watch my lawn get brown like it did last year when we had to STOP watering our lawns here in Milton.. Screw that, I want my lawn green... It's 61 degrees and cloudy today, June 18th... I'll take that every time.. Although it's supposed to hit the 70's for the next couple days before more rain and 60's on Thursday, the first day of summer...

And I, for one, wouldn't have it any other way..

The ENSO (El Nino) cycle is not in the same state as it was in June 1998 ... then it was coming off a strong El Nino and transitioning into La Nina conditions, while lately it's been near-neutral and it's not at all clear what it's going to be doing this summer.

The summer weather pattern I'm used to has the rains ending right after the 4th of July and then sun until the last of September. So the yucky spring so far isn't too much out of whack.

Nooooo! The summers in the late 90s - 01 were the worst! I had started to send my husband's resume out to employers in San Diego.

What jabm67 wrote is right, though. It doens't look like it will be that bad. June is never a good month here.

Without a decent late July - Sept. summer, I can't make it. I get sleepy. Depressed. Gain weight.

*shudders*
