You’re not alone; KIRO hosts lament Seattle summer weather

Hey Seattle weather, it’s LATE JUNE!
The drizzle has’t let up and we’re getting impatient for
summer to appear.
“I’m seriously really down today. It’s this weather. It’s
pouring right now,” said 97.3 KIRO FM host Dori Monson on
Tuesday, calling himself an idiot for living in Seattle
for the last 50 years of his life.
“What kind of a moron would spend their summers in driving
rain?” said Monson.
With all the rain and darkness outside, host Dave Ross got
confused at his first hourly time check.
“God, it’s dark out there,” said Ross. “Is there a solar
eclipse today or something?”
Co-host Luke Burbank said somebody had better call Will
Smith, because only some alien craft blocking the sun
could explain such dark days in June.
Even KING 5 meteorologist Rich Marriott addressed the
weather disappointment in his morning forecast.
“We’ve got people that are pining away for summer, but
it’s not really showing up yet,” said Marriott on
Seattle’s Morning News.
“At least it’s warm rain for now,” he said as a less than
thrilling consolation.
After discovering it was summer everywhere else across the
U.S., with temperatures reading 86 in Miami, 85 in
Charlotte, 100 in Denver, Monson sounded ready to move.
“58 and rain in Seattle, Washington. What are we doing?
What are we thinking?” said Monson. “I’ve had it. I can’t
take it anymore.”
Wednesday might bring the first break in the gray with a
forecast of mostly sunny, but then the National Weather
Service says it’s back to rain Thursday through Monday.
