36 days since we've last had significant rainfall… 

23 days since we've last had a high below 70 degrees…

18 days since we've had a traditional cloudy day…

12 days in a row with highs above 80 degrees…

A record-tying 5 days in a row at 90 degrees…
"Enough already! I'm tired of this heat," said Melanie Nobles Hormann on our Facebook page.

"I am so ready for RAIN!!!!! It would be great to be back into the 60's," said Cathie Delaney. They're just two of the approximately 73% of people in my (un)scientific poll that said they were done with the heat, with many of those ready for some rain.

This blog is for those of you in that category. I can't make it rain outside, but I can make it rain on your computer screen. In addition to the photo gallery showing dozens of rainy photos here, I've compiled a little video of some rainy days here in Seattle to, if nothing else, give you three minutes of a pitter-pattering zen trip down memory lane to grayer, cooler times in Seattle.

Enjoy!
