Sunny Northwest day stuns ISS astronaut

Reid Wiseman
This never happens – perfectly clear from California to British Columbia. #Seattle in the middle.

It's also nearing kicking 1967 out of the record books. Saturday will be Seattle's 41st day at 80 or warmer (with nary a cloud to be found on the satellite image, or seen by the ISS.) The record is 47 days at 80 or warmer. (2nd is 46, 3rd is 45 days.) Long range models suggest the record is not out of reach.

We used to think that 80 degrees in the summer was too hot for Seattle...
and blue skies were rare, it is such a cloudy place.

That ridge has been in place for the entire year. On the East coast, our summer has been a joke.

My apologies but I'm not very familiar with the area. But is that brown patch a desert between Oregon and Washington? I always though of the Northwest as Pine trees, rivers and greenery.
