Interesting comparison, but I think Phoenix beats it for dryness during those months. Also, humidity is better (higher) in Seattle during this season than those other places.

Phoenix is wetter in July and August. It's their monsoon season and humidity is high also.

Wow, you're right. They're pretty dry, but Seattle is even drier with less than one inch on average for both of those months. At least, according to Wiki.

Also, five consecutive months with less than two inches, May-Sep. That's a long dry season. Title of thread is correct.

still pretty short compared to California's dry season

SF
< 1 in : 5 months
< 2 in : 7 months

LA
< 1 in : 7 months
< 2 in : 8 months

--------------------

SEA
< 1 in : 2 months
< 2 in : 5 months

PDX
< 1 in : 2 months
< 2 in : 4 months

Wiki is correct because the source of the data is the National weather service.

Trust me you are going be waiting for the sun to come back in a couple weeks, though this summer has been very hot and dry so it seems things are being delayed. September had 0.59 inches of rain, on average Seattle gets 1.50 inches of rain, the rainiest month is November with an average of 6.57 inches.
