How dry we are! Only 0.24 of an inch of precipitation recorded at SeaTac for all of June and July, says KING 5's Jeff Renner via Twitter. Old record? 0.48 of an inch. We're told we may see some of the wet stuff by Thursday or Friday, but in the meantime, keep moisturizing.

Seattle weather guru Cliff Mass has some unsettling news: May 20 to June 30 was the driest such period in the 116-year history of Seattle weather-record-keeping. Seattle got a mere .18 inches of rain--not enough to chase a whiskey--deblitermashing the previous record by a full .1 inch! Suck it, 1934.

Cliff Mass says no rain was detected at SeaTac (despite a few drops in Seattle yesterday), and so we've moved into contention for the "longest dry run in May-June" in recorded history. Truly these are days of miracle and wonder.
