Bears in Seattle

Humid. It should be nice, though. Seattle is beautiful when it's sunny.

Except for the part where no one has A/C. Bleh.

For the dates of your trip the average high is around 78-80 degrees. The record highs are generally in the low 90s (though one day has a 100 degree record high, I think I remember that if these are SeaTac stats).

Of course, historically the average rainfall for your days is between 0.25 and 0.5 inches. Presumably those average highs and average rains generally don't happen at the same time (Seattle is generally not one of those "warm rain" towns).

There is no humid in Seattle. More humid than the desert, perhaps, but nothing CLOSE to real humidity.

I'd say high temps 75-95. It's supposed to be 70 something today, but it was 97 last week.

Yeah, definitely nothing compared to what is known in SoCal. Much more humid than Spokane, though.

Mono means one and rail means rail...

I've experienced Seattle humidity and heat several times and it was MUCH worse than So Cal. No where close to the South or the East though.

Were you perhaps in the shower?

Seriously, it is hardly EVER humid here. If it is humid, it's only briefly as the weather in our lovely "convergence" zone switches over from warm to storm. Nothing that lasts any significant length of time.

Interesting, maybe it is just somehow different and that makes it seem worse.

I've never experienced anything in Seattle (and I know you know, but in case anybody doesn't I did spend my first 22 years in Western Washington) like I do on an average spring day in LA (neither of which are as bad as Hawai'i which doesn't hold a candle to Houston).

Prudence, I think you are just used to it, or maybe it's because we have so little humidity here that it seems like a sauna over there. At any rate, to JW it won't seem too bad, as SoCal is far worse than Seattle when it comes to muggy weather. (Especially that 'June Miasma').
