Twenty-Two Days of Rain

The Seattle Times tells us that we've had 22 consecutive days of measurable rain in Seattle, which is (yes) unusual.

"Usually we have a few days of rain and one or two days of cloudy and dreary days and then it rains again and that's the way it goes," National Weather Service meteorologist Johnny Burg said Monday. "We're not getting our dry days in between — just having one system follow another."

The record in Seattle is 33 consecutive days of measurable rain, set in 1953.
