Yall want some rain? Come over to the wet coast and hang out.

This has been the absolute dreariest April to June I've ever experienced here in Victoria. I can maybe count on one hand the amount of clear sunny days we've had in that time span.

The grey was supposed to be gone usually by the end of March. It's still grey.

Should have said for this city I guess. The point stands. I don’t think where the person is located really affects how they predict the weather.

This is getting ridiculous. I seeded the lawn this afternoon, and I’d normally water right after. But I thought no, it’s for sure going to rain later - forecast says 90 per cent chance.

#### it. I’m just gonna water the lawn. If it rains it rains.

Yeah, it looked like we should have pretty much for sure got decent rain by early evening at the latest. Now looking around I don't see it happening even in the next couple of hours. Crazy spring.

What forecast? Weather network hasn’t said more than 50% precipitation at any point today (until 11 pm). Which means it won’t rain.

Not sure what my phone uses but they had 70% after 4pm and in the 80's after midnight.

Beautiful clear night so far…

I rushed to mow the lawn this morning thinking (hoping) we’d get some rain but not looking good. Even overnight.

That's in 3 minutes and seems really optimistic, looks fairly clear as far as I can see in the night sky.

Weather Network has been calling for 15-25mm today all week. Even last night it was calling 10mm overnight… now today 1-3mm during the day.

Le sigh

Rained pretty consistently through the night and into the early morning in the NW.

Sounds like you need to spice up chores.

Music, a good podcast, beer, BBQ'd burger break in the middle..

There goes the sun... I see a severe thunderstorm warning for Strathmore, but no alerts or even a "Watch" for storms for Calgary. Seems odd, no?

EDIT: I may have answered my own question, I see a note on one of these things that says it's due to a storm near Milo, so a decent distance away.
