Usually on a average year it starts in May and goes until about the first week of July and then I'm usually good from there. This year tho it started a couple weeks ago and it feels like peak suffering for me.lol. Do you have allergies?


Side note it's already 12c

Komo

Rain showers late Friday may briefly change to wet snow in parts of the lowlands early Saturday morning as snow levels plummet behind the departing cold front. No lowland snow accumulation but the Cascades will come away with a healthy 8-12 inches, most of which will fall Friday night.

It depends. Personally, I start to really feel my allergies in late May into June when the cotton is flying around.

December 2015 was fairly cool with lots of rain. Mountain snowpack was well above normal from what I recall. Had a few wet snowfalls across the lowlands in late Dec.

End of the month into early Jan we had an inversion with freezing fog, followed by the only widespread lowland snowfall of the winter.

Spring basically started late Jan onwards, alternating between mild/dry and mild/wet periods. Later on that spring, we saw some record warmth in April with temps hovering around 25-30c for a week capped off by thunderstorms.

I'm seeing tweets comparing the current SST configuration to 2009-2012.

Could be the first multi-year -PDO in eight years. If the anomalies persist into the summer, I'd expect to see more days with a marine layer (morning/early afternoon clouds).

I am down for that! I love the "normal" summer days.

I find Claritin does nothing at all to help me. I use Reactine, and now I use AERIUS which works for me. My allergy season in May, June, July. June being the worst. I once nearly cured my allergies but it involved a lot of body cleansing, which I did, and my allergies went away for about 3 years then slowly started coming back. I'd love to do that program again, but it took like 2 months from what I remember.

The sunny days haven't been all that warm for sure. Overall though I was expecting a rainier spring so far so I'll take it. .

Yea. I was expecting a wet March and April. Total opposite of that so far.
