So, it has been cool lately. Not cold, but cool and breezy and wet, because I live in the Pacific Northwest and that is what we do. But people complain. People come into the library and talk about how it is May/June and why isn't it warm, I thought it was supposed to be warm, why isn't it summer yet? And I am not terribly supportive of that line of conversation in general because I dislike hot weather and all of my pretty clothes are cool-weather clothes and anyway, people whining about the weather are irritating.

Today, though, it is warm. The weather has decided it's June, so it's in the 70s and humid and at least partially sunny. And my coworkers and half the people who come into the library keep talking about how it's too hot and we need to turn on fans and my god, it's so muggy.

::headdesk:: This is what you wanted, people!

Alas, time to put my knee socks away for the season.

They're never satisfied unless it's 65 and overcast with no rain, and even then they'll complain that the humidity is too high. Coming from where I was for most of my life, I'm loving this weather year round. Not too humid, plenty of rain, occasional sun. I do miss the thunderstorms, though.

I think it rained every year as I was moving out of dorms/apartments when I was in Seattle for college and that would have been the 1st/2nd week of June. I also remember it raining as I helped my brother move out of the dorms several years later in June.

Yeah. We don't get properly sunny-for-days weather until about July 5th. I know that, and I'm a relative newcomer to the area.

You'd think that people who've lived here their whole lives would have an idea of what the weather's like here in early June.
