Our mornings and nights here drop to the low 50s in summer which is great for sleeping
I remember how miserable you were in Texas. Happy for you, man!
you want to take some heat from my area (midwest)?
With the humidity the feels like for pretty much all of those days has been 100-110.
our normal high this time of year is 81... we've been above average for like a month, and there isn't a single day predicted to be below average this month right now :/
just a touch after noon here right now
and still have a few more degrees base temp to go up to bring that feels like over 100 with ease again.

I kinda hate living here during the summers since it never really feels like summer until mid August.
I just want a little more sun shine, is that too much to ask for? 70s and sunny is perfect weather to me. It's not too cold, just want some sun for once.
And end these allergies already.

Lucky. The year before you came, it was hard to even breathe outside from all the smoke. That summer sucked ass.

Yeah I think it was the year before last or the previous was pretty bad. I remember having ash all over my car from the wildfires.
Same weather up here in metro Vancouver.
As usual people /coworkers complaining about it being too cold, but since im WFH with no AC, this is much better than roasting in a hot room.
Oh man that must be nice. Meanwhile here:
absolutely miserable with that kind of heat and humidity. oppressive.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...it sucks here lol

On the plus side you get some awesome thunderstorms down there. Here, they are rare...maybe 1 or 2 a year and they are nothing compared to what you get.Oh man that must be nice. Meanwhile here:

People underestimate just how truly nightmarish the heat and humidity in Chicago can be during the mid-to-late summer.
can we get this in the northeast!?!?!? since like summer began it's just been straight 85+ with some serious humidity...
Please help me in Michigan. It's been 7+ straight days of 90+ and we've haven't had a decent rain in over a month. My yard is a dried husk. I have central air but I'm scared for my electric bill.
I love it! The grey mist look of Seattle is so unique and refreshing to look at IMO
It's been pretty great. I can go walking later in the day instead of needing to do it pretty early in the morning.

No clue how accurate but according to this website it's 152 days a year. Keep in mind Seattle actually has one of the better climates in western Washington. Here in Olympia where I'm at we apparently have 136. Coastal locations have even less (also way more rain...over 100" compared to Seattle w/ 37").

Since moving back here last year, it's actually been far sunnier than I remembered growing up. Not sure if the past year was unusual or if my memory was wrong

The cloudiness can vary from year to year. La Niña summers tend to be cooler and cloudier like this year.

Interesting. So more cloud cover than most cities on average but less overall precipitation.
The urge to move to the northwest at some point is growing stronger
How long ago did you move away? The past ~6 years have been unusually sunny and hot.

Less precipitation but more rainy days. Seattle rain is typically light so some place like Miami for instance where you can get inches of rain that falls in a matter of hours would take weeks in Seattle. For instance, this past January it rained 30 days straight here.
EDIT: Seattle rained 28 days in January here in Olympia it was 30
Seattle tied the record for most rainy days this January
As the month comes to an end, we tied records set in 1953 and 2006 for most rainy days in January.

Yeah this is something that people always leave out. Seattle proper is probably less rainy than people imagine, but most of the nearby cities and suburbs get significantly more rain, especially north and east.
The spring was super mild for me, but I supposed it's because I spent most of it indoors. This July has been miserable. Popping sinus medicine like Donald Trump before a campaign rally.

I had pretty allergies a couple months ago but nothing for a while now. Guess it depends where you are?
I moved to the Bay Area in 2006 and didn't return until early last year. Glad it isn't my memory playing tricks on me though!
I'm pretty happy about it. I bought a new portable AC unit a couple months ago in preparation, but I'm glad to not have to use it as much.
Welcome fellow transplant from Texas.
I don't remember the number offhand but I remember a year or two ago in the fall/winter, seeing something to the effect of us not having a sunny day for 80 days straight but I distinctly remember having "sunny" days. Turns out, partly cloudy days (which still have plenty of sun, IMO) aren't considered "sunny" days.
