Ahoy! June Outlook

Today is the start of a new month. So what's the outlook like? Below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation.  "Whine, whine, whine" ... a phrase pulled from the house jargon and bro quotes developed by my lovely roommates with this kind of June.  The bright side; below normal in early May was a high of 52 degrees F and a normal of 62, yes chilly and burr for below normal.  In late June the normal high is 73 degrees; so I can take 66 or 72 because those are below normal and still comfortable! Here is the NWS Climate Prediction Center's June 2011 high temperatures map. Blue indicates below normal, orangy colors above normal, and white is about normal.



Precipitation chances for June are above normal.  The bright side June is the third driest month for the Pacific Northwest.
 

I can't however find a bright side for sunshine hours because usually precip come with clouds. So maybe more sunshine than our cloudy, cool, wet March, April, May works?
