Record breaking day 52 in Seattle without rain. Old record 51 days ended w/0.76" 8/27/1951
So dry here now that trees and lawns are dying and or dead. Watering is almost useless.
Never seen it go this long without some rain.
Seattle and the local area have also been overcast with a fog like covering of smoke from fires in Canada which come down out of the Frazier River Valley of BC. Vancouver must be a nightmare. I know because I went to Montana last year and it like visiting hell. Everything from Spokane on going eastwards was blanketed in smoke so thick your eyes burned. Flat ass scary. Once you got into the burning forests of Montana the rivers were nearly bone dry and the wildlife had taken to moving inside the little cities which stretch along the old highways like US 2. Deer standing in downtown on lawns, in the parks, turkey standing along the highway, fire crews all over. It was damn scary to be frank. Poor critter will have a hard time of it with that much damage.
