August 2012 in Seattle was warmer than normal & very dry. The mean temperature was 67.9F/19.9C. The normal mean temperature is 66.1F/18.9C. There was only a trace of rain on 2 days, no measurable amount. Normal precipitation is 0.88 inches. The highest temperature was 94F/34.4C, the lowest 50F/10C. There were 11 days over 80F/26.7C, 4 of them over 90F/32.2C. The record high temperature for Seattle in August is 99F/37.2C. There were 3 days with fog, 3 days with haze, 5 cloudy days, 14 partly cloudy days & 12 fair days. It was dry & increasingly dusty. A few very hot days alternated with a few cooler days with highs of 70F/21.1C on 3 days. Irrigation was essential. Watering the potted plants was a major chore. I did very little work in the garden because it was mostly too sunny & warm.
171The colour and clarity of your pictures are a delight. Looks like you you had a pleasant August in Seattle Jordan, and at one time I thought you shared a similar climate to that in Aberdeen.
ReplyDeleteoh, if I were you Jordan I would get rid of the horrible word verification
