Think it was 2009 or 2010 when it seemed everyday was cloudy and rainy from March to almost Independence Day! That was our version of living in Seattle. That was AWFUL.

2009 the year without a summer.

March 19-21st timeframe to watch for guys.

Another weak Nina transitioning to a strong Nino with a cool summer was 1997.

The summer of 1997 did not reach 90 degrees during the entire month of July.

No way that can happen now unless it's raining every day accompanied by dewpoints near 80

Sorry I got the year wrong, that was actually the summer of 1996.

73.1 DEGREES. THE COOLEST JULY EVER WAS IN 1888 WHEN THE MERCURY
AVERAGED ONLY 70.7 DEGREES. THE ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION ALSO WAS NOT

THE WETTEST JULY OF ALL TIME WAS IN IN 1889 WHEN 11.89 INCHES OF RAIN
FELL.

COOL AND WET PATTERN...WITH JUST A FEW DAYS OF TYPICAL SUMMERTIME
WEATHER. PRECIPITATION WAS RECORDED ON SIX OF THE LAST TEN DAYS OF THE
MONTH....AND EACH OF THE LAST 12 DAYS OF THE MONTH AVERAGED BELOW
NORMAL.

It got very hot for awhile in July 1997 but still ended up below normal overall.

Nina to strong Nino usually means cool summer and warm winter,for some reason Christmas week is balmy, followed by a strong nina the year after..The thing is will it be strong?. Too early to determine

Real or not real!
