No, anyone with a kid going to afternoon swim practice, or anyone who tries to fly in the afternoon knows that this has been a long time pattern.

The weather has been terrible. Wet, damp, humid, rain. So much water.

I distinctly remember when I moved back here after college it felt like every day in June was rainy.

The dry pattern of the past couple summers has been abnormal. This might be wetter than normal but still closer to usual than the last couple years.

It's been a normal amount.

At nearly 6", we are far above the average rainfall for all of June already. This is not normal. Dry and wet patterns will alternate over years, but this is way above average rainfall for June. We are right to be miserable about it and over it. But then again, I have despised the gloomy horrible weather of this area for the 30 years I have lived here. It's not just afternoon summer showers. This is endless gloom.

It's been abnormally wet and gross. Horrible dampness and wetness.

Is this your first summer here? This is totally normal.

DC has always been a swampy hellhole in summer. At least since the 90s when I first moved here.

It’s really not unusual to have several weeks in a row that remind you that DC used to be a swamp. It will be a dry August and we will have forgotten all about the rainy June we had.

NP.

It hasn't been several weeks. It's been 2 solid months.

It’s been this way for the last 30 years I have lived here. It’s normal.

I agree. May and June have been unbearably wet and miserable.

DC was never a swamp. Good god.

Global cooling . The cooling causes condensation. Global cooling is 1000 times more deadly than warming and increased fossil fuel use may be mandatory.
