Seattle's had less rain than San Diego, LA and Las Vegas this month

It’s not just you – April weather in western Washington has been unusually dry.

As of Wednesday, Sea-Tac Airport recorded just 0.01 inches of rainfall this month. Seattle is also inching toward the month’s record dry streak of 17 days. So far Seattle’s had 13 straight days without measurable rain.

In a turn of events, a handful of west coast cities that are notoriously drier than Seattle have all accumulated more April rainfall, including San Diego (3.90 inches of rain), Los Angeles (2.68 inches) and Las Vegas (0.16 inches).

If Seattle’s rain stays away, we could contend for the dry weather record for April, which is 0.33 inches of rain set back in 1956.

Portland, not Seattle. Sigh. Climate change.
