It can obviously easily remain dry for 2 weeks, but cloudless? Nope!

I doubt even Seattle is cloudless for 2 weeks in a row in a normal summer.

So London has 15 consecutive summer days with no cloud in the sky and no rain drop every year? Because this happens in Seattle EVERY summer (July, August and September)

I've no idea. Maybe some of the PNW poster's could help with that one. From memory, I do remember seeing forecast's in summer for Seattle and Vancouver showing a full week of clear skies.

London can easily get over 15 days without rain, multiple times, every year.

A typical summer day in London is partly cloudy, so it's not normal to have 15 consecutive days with are 100% cloudless, day and night. It's common to have 15 mostly sunny days in a row though.

That would be hard for us in the summer, though that happened to us this summer if a few very tiny precipitation amounts are excluded. Two weeks straight of clear skies would be hard for Seattle.

That sounds a bit hard to believe. The monthly sky cover reports don't show that.

No definitely not, but long periods of dry weather aren't that unusual. The 15 consecutive days of no cloud won't happen though. No way.

Do you have an example of such a stretch? Weather that consistent sounds hard to get

I can remember seeing the 2 week forecast with completely sunny skies for here.

Something like this doesn't count, as there are still clouds in the sky.
