Seattle breaks record with rain on 30 days in a month

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SEATTLE -- January might usually be a rainy month around here, but it's never been quite this rainy before.

With yet another rainy day on Jan. 31, Seattle has now notched measurable rain on 28 of the 31 days this month -- tying the record for most days in a month with measurable rain with the 28 days of rain in January 2006 and January 1953.

If you want a tie breaker though, of the other three days this month without measurable rain, two of them measured a "trace" of rain meaning it rained but not enough to measure. The other two years of the record had two totally dry days.

So far in 2020, our only dry day was Jan. 1 -- which, don't forget, was so windy the Space Needle fireworks were canceled.

3. I didn't know the fireworks were canceled.

The rain up there is bad enough, but it also means no sun, for weeks at a time.

Thanks for the info.
