Everyone talks about the weather, but in the Pacific Northwest, it's more than small talk-it's a shared experience. Today's Forecast - Tomorrow's Weather? is a month-by-month look at the rhythms, quirks, and quiet truths of Northwest weather, told through observation, history, and lived experience. Drawing on more than three decades as a regional weather columnist, Patrick Timm guides readers through the seasons as they unfold in Seattle, Portland, and surrounding communities. Each month explores what the weather typically brings, how it shapes daily life, and why it behaves the way it does-without technical jargon or predictions. Along the way, readers will find weather lore, memorable storms, subtle seasonal shifts, and practical insights about what to expect and how people adapt. The tone is conversational and reflective, blending meteorology with everyday life under changing skies. This book is both a gentle guide for newcomers and a familiar companion for longtime residents. It invites readers to slow down, look up, and appreciate the patterns that repeat and the surprises that never quite do.
Whether read straight through or revisited month by month, Today's Forecast - Tomorrow's Weather? offers a thoughtful perspective on life beneath Northwest skies.
