Record breaking temperatures in Seattle

How does this equate to all the unprecedented rainfall I'm getting here in FLA?

I'm seriously considering turning my existing house into an on grade pool and building an addition on top of it for living quarters.

To Henry: I know that for most parts of the world 102 degrees in summer isn't much to complain about, but for the Seattle area, that's use to over 200 days of rain a year, it makes this place a sweat box! Most of the homes around here don't have air conditioning, its (almost) ....

You is a double dyed eejit! Seattle gets about 38 inches a year of rain; nowhere near the 200 you're claiming. Out on the outer coast of WA there really are places that get 200 inches but they're classed as rain forest. Seattle is on the eastern side of the Olympic mountains and in their shadow, so to speak.

On the other hand, Seattle area rain isn't like a monsoon. It comes down gently and mistily. For that reason it can SEEM like there's a lot of rainy days but not a whole lot of water.

Source and provenence ?? I am a native washingtonian, was born in Spokane and have lived in Seattle and environs since 1960.

I never claimed 200 INCHES, I claimed 200 DAYS! And its true that most of the time the rain fall is like a heavy mist, but rain never the less. And yes, I maybe a "double dyed eejit", but atleast I can READ!!
 
Today's the first non rainy day here since Monday. I might even get a chance to take my horse out for a ride. I think the next saddle I buy will be a synthetic, that way I can get it wet without worrying about ruining it.

Temps this week have been in the 70s. Today it's about 80.
 
yesterday, there was an excellent radio program that explained what was happening with the weather here in the Pacific Northwest.

the guest was Cliff Mass, the University of Washington Atmospheric Scientist.
not only was the high temp record (103 in Seattle) shattered, the record for the high/low differential in a 24 hour period was smashed.

BTW, I am amazed to see so many folks from this neck of the woods around here.
I'm out on the Olympic Peninsula.
