Spring is traditionally a pretty wet season in America’s quintessential rainy city, Seattle. But this year, the Emerald City has become famous for its rare dry spell.
The Seattle Times reports, “If the rain holds off today, Seattle will match the May-June record of consecutive rainless spring days set in 1982. While there have been reports of some very light rain in and around Seattle, no precipitation has reached Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where the National Weather Service measures rain levels. The record for consecutive dry days for May-June is 29.”
As observers, all we can do is hope (and perform rain dances). For the record, I’m pretty sure that this drought hasn’t been manufactured by the government.
Look on the bright side, no rain is better than acid rain…or is it?
