About the Weather

It is June 6th, just two weeks from the start of summer. Here are the current weather conditions:

  • The temperature is 10 degrees centigrade (or 50 degrees fahrenheit for those of you in Oregon City).
  • The wind is from the south at 18 miles per hour, with gusts up to 28 miles per hour.
  • The sky is completely overcast. It looks like a winter’s day at the Oregon coast.
  • There’s a 90% chance of precipitation. Translation: it’s going to rain off-and-on today. Mostly on.

What I’m trying to say is that it feels like November, not June. I am cold. I am sick of the rain. It’s bad news when even life-long Oregonians are frustrated by the weather.

  1. Yeah, I feel the same way. I had high hopes for my garden but the only thing that seems to be growing is the radish crop.

    And the lawn.

  2. Great term coined by the Oregonian this morning…”June-uary” That’s one that might stick.

    Today they said it was going to be partly sunny. If this partly sunny, I’ll take it.
