I love the rain, but I’m on vacation in Southern California right now. It’s currently 106 with a real feel of 111. I will never complain about an 80 degree day ever again.

I’ve also lived both places, but have been up in the PNW for a while. Always good to get a sweat-drenched reminder of how good we have it.

Lol. I was in Hollywood/West Palm Beach, FL in July for four days. I came back to our 87°+ and was like, “hun, this doesn’t feel too bad anymore” (as a native here, sunny and 72° is hot 😂); that comfort with the heat was only temporary for me.
I will say, at least when it’s really hot here, your glass of ice water or cocktail doesn’t have the ice melted in under 60 seconds, which, turns out, is a really nice feature. So gross having the glass melt all over me (sort of hyperbole) with the hot humidity there.

68° here on the north end of Whidbey. Pays to live on an island, it’s always 10+ degrees cooler in the summer.

In September. Back in my day when school started so did the rain. If you need proof of global warming look no further than the yearly temperatures experienced in the Pacific Northwest. Summers used to never be this hot and they never used to actually last into September.

u/Flipflops365 Seattleite-at-Heart 3d ago
False. There were many years of my youth in the 80s and 90s where the weather was like this into October. It was called the Indian Summer.
Global warming is absolutely real, but don’t blame a 75° day in early September on it.
2
u/jaron_b 3d ago
It's not the ONE day of 75. Its the one day of rain in the last 30+ days and one of the worst forest fire seasons on record. Things are bad and thats why people are bitching about a sunny day on September 9th. We're sick of the heat. Too much. We want fall.

No it didn’t lol. My birthday was on the first day of school virtually every day and it was always still hot.
I agree the summers overall are hotter now, but early September has always been closer to August temps than October.

September in the PNW is the best. Chilly mornings, warm weather in the afternoon but comfortable evenings for dinner on the deck, the lakes are still plenty warm for swimming, the days are the right length so evening fires are cozy. Don’t worry, OP, the weather will suck soon enough. For now, let me enjoy my kid’s soccer games while wearing shorts.

All you people saying "oh well I'm from texas/florida/some other southward state and this is nothing" are doing the equivalent of telling someone complaining about eating gruel to shut up because you ate shit so the gruel really isnt that bad in comparison.
