June 2012 in Seattle was cooler, with much more rain than normal. The mean temperature was 58.3F/14.6C. The normal mean temperature is 60.9F/16C. Total precipitation was 2.96 inches. Normal precipitation is 1.57 inches. Many people complained about the weather. The Seattle Times called it June-uary. However, January 2012 saw 6.83 inches of rain. Even normal January rainfall is 5.57 inches, nearly twice the amount we received in June 2012. The normal mean temperature for January is 42F/5.5C. My sympathy was limited. June 2012 was more like May, which had 2.68 inches of rain. Perennials grew larger than than ever. Many shrubs & trees added an amazing amount of growth. June 2012 was a month of abundance. There was 1 day with heavy rain, 6 days with rain, 18 days with light rain, 12 days with fog, 1 day with haze, 21 cloudy days, 9 partly cloudy days & no fair days. The highest temperature was 76F/24.4C, the lowest 43F/6.1C. Consistently warm, dry & sunny weather does not usually arrive in Seattle until after the 4th of July.
Lovely photos. I have some of these plants in my garden. I am sure you have seen the news from Colorado this year. We have been just a ball of fire. The heat and low moisture is taking its toll on everything and everyone. Just one of those years. Wish we had of the rain you have had. My garden plants have suffered some this year when in other years they have been fine.
