The Memorial Day weekend is almost here. Some call it the official “start” of summer. Many people head out of town for the holiday weekend, while others stay home and participate in outdoor activities like ball games, hikes, and more. There is a tendency to feel it always rains during this three-day holiday weekend. We all remember those soggy camping trips or when our outdoor activities got wet.

NORTH SOUND, MAY 8: April showers bring May flowers. This poem from the 19th Century is especially true in Western Washington and the North Sound. Yet this year, those April showers were fewer than usual. For instance, Everett-Paine Field had nearly three-quarters of an inch of rain all month, well short of the average 2.60 inches. For the year thus far, Everett has had just more than four inches of rain, only 31% of average. Those May flowers have enjoyed some warm sunshine so far this month.

April showers bring May flowers. This poem from the 19th Century rings so well in western Washington. Yet this year, those April showers were fewer than usual. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) finished the month about two-thirds of an inch of rain shy of the average 3.18 inches. Much of the rest of western Washington was also drier than normal in April. For instance, Everett Paine Field had close to three-quarters of an inch of rain all month, well short of the 2.60-inch average.
