I think I will borrow a quote from Mary Poppins and apply it to our weather this week: “Practically perfect in every way!”
My temperature predictions of roughly 75 to 80 degrees may have to be bumped up a degree or two or three, other than that just about close to the seasonal normals. So, a “normal” week of weather for the first of August. Now that should make us all feel normal of some sort shouldn’t it? Good thing after a gloomy but pleasant July.
And speaking of gloomy, experts at the University of Washington have plotted the cloudiness during June and it shows that for most of Western Washington we managed to maintain a winter level of cloudiness. July numbers may be slightly improved but yet very unseasonal. You know those winter blues that many get from the lack of sunshine? That was the main complaint gathered within my inbox last month. Everyone enjoyed the pleasant temperatures but many could have used a few more hours of sunshine. And so could have the garden as well.
But as mentioned here the other day, I believe we may enjoy much more sunshine this month and more weather like July. Still no 90-degree weather headed our way. Bottom line before you push the send button on that email, “No Complaints here!”
