Weather: Dry Period Record Tied

According to Cliff Mass, the record for the longest dry period in Seattle has been tied.

"There has been no measurable rain at Seattle-Tacoma Airport for fifty-one days. This ties the record for number of consecutive days without measurable rain, which occurred from July 7 to August 26, 1951."

The same here in Vancouver. In addition to this our skies have been obscured by smoke from the wildfires for 2 weeks already (luckily after the Paragliding Nationals were over). Apparently the smoke helped to keep the heat in check. And due to the inflow from the ocean the air quality is not terrible in Vancouver. But I'm looking forward to the rain predicted for this weekend which should clear the skies!
