I'm thinking the climate reports do in fact use Standard Time (which was my thinking), meaning the day ended at 1am Daylight Time.<br /><br />If this is the case, then we missed the record by enough rain falling in that last seven minutes to total 0.01" for the evening before 1am.<br /><br />Is this correct?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096215378082506457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-70573869968749522032009-06-19T02:27:04.658-07:002009-06-19T02:27:04.658-07:00What is the "official" stance on when re...What is the "official" stance on when records are set?

Nothing in my gauge though. And you know what? June is going to go down as one of the DRIEST months so far this year in many places I bet. <br /><br />This month so far, I have only received .02" of rain. That is DRY! July in normally one of the driest months, so we`ll have to see what it brings.andycottlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696751462397354299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-1827624631332434182009-06-18T22:18:51.928-07:002009-06-18T22:18:51.928-07:00Rain starting in North SeattleRain starting in North Seattlechalkballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159385561793113203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-54725160280320577682009-06-18T21:57:25.790-07:002009-06-18T21:57:25.790-07:00Not that this counts for seeing actual rain, but d...Not that this counts for seeing actual rain, but did some distant virga falling out of some alto-stratus clouds this evening.andycottlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696751462397354299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-16918612132837892362009-06-18T21:57:17.645-07:002009-06-18T21:57:17.645-07:00We got a wee soaking during our evening walk about...We got a wee soaking during our evening walk about an hour ago in Port Townsend.
