Well, I am happy and satisfied with my life a majority of the time despite the weather.
However, the weather in Seattle is usually so far away from my ideal annual weather preferences it’s really starting to affect me sometimes since October. Weather forecasts is suggesting up to 50 cloudy days in a row in Seattle Early January to Late February with minimal to zero sunshine, no real cold, or warmth, just bland 40s, 50s temperatures, drizzle, and probably not even enough heavy rain.
I love hot and sunny weather in summer, and Seattle is overrated for summer weather with zero days above 88-90 degrees the entire year of 2013. I prefer 30 days to 50 days high temperatures in 90s, even a few days into 100s, and to get zero days of that type of weather the entire year is frustrating. Early to Late June, Mid to Late August, and September was quite cloudy for summer... There was zero days above 69 degrees t-shirt weather days since Early to Mid September, 4 months total and maybe continuing all the way into next June. I might have to check out a tanning place, and might replicate 95 degrees, and sunny, low humidity, UV index of 9 inside a tanning place.
All of the negative changes in Seattle compared to 3 years ago just makes the annual weather situation worse, and is not the same city in 1990s and up to 2010. If I didn’t have my favorite places, I wouldn’t want to live here anymore.
After 2 years later in the future, I probably would want to desperately move out of Seattle.
A lightning bolt just struck literally about 200 feet in front of my balcony, even saw the sparks fly up from where it struck. I love thunderstorms but this was scary heavy rain and wind outside now with occasional thunder.
I am jealous. Back in August I saw lightning strike very close to here, immediately followed by very loud shotgun thunder, but seeing sparks fly sounds interesting.

I am not really a fan of lighting as I go camping quite a bit during the summer and there is nothing worse than being out there surrounded by all those big trees while you can see lighting everywhere.
It sounded like a bomb went off lol, I see a stream of smoke from where the lightning struck but with all this rain that small ember should probably go away soon.
On Saturday, Daytona Beach set a daily record high (according to the news) at 84F. As if that wasn't enough, the dew point reached 70. Literally felt like early summer. Capping off the exquisite day was a respectable line of thunderstorms shortly after nightfall. And of course I got to hang out with all my relatives. There's nothing like feasting on freshly steamed clams and watching some lightning
Hmm. Well its alright but its crappy compared to america.
Surely as a British subject you'd prefer to be in a country where the Queen is on the currency, the public land is "Crown Land", and the institutions are "royal"?

Worse is camping in the Great Plains hearing thunder echoing around your tent. Scared east coaster go back to the inside of their cars...
Once when I was camping there was a massive thunderstorm, and somebody in a tent three spaces down was injured by lightning. Lots of close CG's that night. I was about 9 years old, my younger sister was pi55ing herself practically, terrifying it was, I think I was scared but half enjoyed it.
