A few weeks ago, we felt like summer was here!  It almost reached 90°F for a few days!  Of course, the humidity started at 30% and quickly fell to -20%
The past few days have been much more to my liking!  Highs in the upper 60s with clear skies and 30% or less humidity.
Yesterday, the morning low was 39°F, and this morning, June 3rd, it is clear and a brisk 35°F. Currently, humidity is up to 72% with a sparkling dew.
Sadly, this will not last; the final snow will melt off the peaks, and the '+90s are coming in July and August, and I will want to head to the far north or perhaps the deep south (Patagonia).
Having grown up in the humidity-drenched coastal Northeast.
The best part of the inland North West is the lack of humidity, except when it's raining.
Our garden is blooming.

Now when I hear, "use it up, wear it out", I'll see your garden fence.  

Most Excellent


Peace
