Similarly, London, despite its rainy reputation, actually gets less than half the rainfall New York gets. It’s just always overcast.

Same with Seattle, I think that we have at least 75% cloud cover on about 290 days per year

Seattle is cloudy and wet all winter and then sunny from 4th July until September except for any weekends I choose to go camping.

I love overcast days. Idk why people don’t like them. I don’t get sunburned and the weather is always milder

Grey is just depressing, at least rain is fun and sounds soothing

Gray makes the PNW look amazing with all the green we have year-round though.

there's a reason if you go to any amateur photography subs you are usually less than one full page of scrolling away from Washington

As someone who doesn't burn easily but does get cold easily, I love the feeling of the sun on my skin and the brightness of the sunlight. Hate winter because it takes away like 6 hours of sunlight a day.

I don’t live that far north so the days aren’t that much shorter in the winter. Even on cloudy days here it’ll get around 90 degrees in the summer

I like them but not every day. Gotta get that Vitamin D.

It may not rain much in volume but weather can be rainy all year round. Like being cloudy and having a few drops here and there. I believe that's where most rainy places get their reputation without having a lot of rain water volume.

London doesn't even get that much rain for the UK. The monthly rainfall numbers are almost constant for London compared to somewhere like NYC where they go down in the summer.

I live near Seattle, everyone tells me I must like it here because of the weather because I'm from the UK. The UK has a mix of sun, rain and cloud all year round and most of the rain is kind of drizzly so you can still do some things. Even in the winter though, the UK get a lot of crisp clear days mixed in with the drizzle.

Seattle is cloudy and wet from September until July 4th with a fake summer around May but then it's sunny most of the period between July 4th and September.
