Getting Warmer

Struggling for a topic, I realized the 10-day weather forecast shows the daily average high temperature had reached 61° for the April 29th.  A modest bit of research via Google and weather.com shows that the average high temperature for Seattle hit 60° on 4/17 and will be 61° on 4/23.  That is a big change for a place with only a 17° difference between the average high and low.  A few more mouse-clicks shows that the average high temp gets up to 76° for 15 days during late July and early August.  The average high of 46° for December-January lasts for 31 days.  No wonder winters seem so long and gray here.  They are.

I am grateful for warmer temperatures that don’t get too hot.   It is wonderful to be surrounded by lush greenery with plenty of clean fresh water.  That is a lot better than being a years-long drought stretching from Oregon to Oklahoma.
