I tried to find some data on that, and am only finding averages. I saw that our rain volume is increasing (rains seem heavier to me), but is the number of clear/sunny days increasing?Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086836631409607525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-61558050496232449432011-10-18T21:59:38.666-07:002011-10-18T21:59:38.666-07:00I grew up in Enumclaw and can we do a similar thin...I grew up in Enumclaw and can we do a similar thing for there wondering if it's more cloudier than seattle (at least) as seattle is than sequim?<br /><br />I swear that people think Seattle is such a rain paradise, but ever since living in the city 5 years Im pretty sure East King Co is MUCH cloudier and nastier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-28891634364270671312011-10-17T21:34:30.634-07:002011-10-17T21:34:30.634-07:00John Davidson raises an interesting question, whet...John Davidson raises an interesting question, whether South Lopez, or South San Juan is drier and sunnier than Sequim. I know they are close.<br /><br />The National Park Service reports average annual precipitation on S. San Juan in the vicinity of American Camp of roughly 18 inches, whereas the average precipitation in central Sequim is reported as 16.51 inches by the Weather Service.<br /><br />There is a precipitation table on my website if you are interested. http://www.olympicrainshadow.com/olympicrainshadowmap.html<br /><br />I recorded 14.94 inches closer to Dungeness Spit last year, from Oct 2010 - Sept 2011. Port Townsend is also close in precipitation. <br /><br />Sunshine is a different story; my hunch is the sunniest spot is still somewhere close to and slightly north of Sequim. If anyone has a full year of radiation data with 10 minute intervals for Lopez or San Juan, I'd love to take a look at that.OlympicRainShadow.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041178068215678793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-76540862734541293712011-10-17T11:03:11.646-07:002011-10-17T11:03:11.646-07:00My mom lives in Sequim south of town on Bell Hill....My mom lives in Sequim south of town on Bell Hill.

Along the way, I noticed something odd about the vegetation along the side of Hwy 101. I then announced to my friend that we were near Sequim. He then asked me what made me think that. "The grass turned brown." As soon as I said that, we saw the second sign: Welcome to Sequim.Dave Eriksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473264237163648061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-49931578656558350382011-10-16T18:04:52.434-07:002011-10-16T18:04:52.434-07:00Very interesting data - I bet Port Angeles is not ...Very interesting data - I bet Port Angeles is not far behind Sequim as one of the sunniest places in western WA.in PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638336317041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-53270026141705383402011-10-16T17:46:19.463-07:002011-10-16T17:46:19.463-07:00What a freaky coincidence!

Your podcast/KPLU story on Friday was so positive about sun. Here I am at 330pm on Sunday, and just little peaks through the fog. And despite Saturday's blown forecast, y'all stuck with the same thing on Sunday. I use the web cams at Rainier and the Passes to help with my forecast. And, seeing fog at Paradise this morning (Saturday was clear), I knew we'd be lucky to see any sun Sunday. It's better to be wrong when you say it's going to rain when it doesn't. When you say it's going to be sunny, and with such confidence, and then you're wrong, people get upset. And 70 and sun on Tuesday??? I'm not holding my breath.Targheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956781259212863105noreply@blogger.com
