The dry season (July-September) brings stunning weather and mountain views. Fall transitions to steady rain by October. Winters are cool and overcast with occasional snow events that can paralyze the hilly city. Spring gradually dries out by May with cool, crisp days.
Seattle-Tacoma Airport's 1991-2020 annual precipitation total is lower than the Houston, Atlanta, and New York Central Park station totals shown on this site for the same period. Rain frequency, cloud cover, and total precipitation describe different aspects of a climate.
Local Planning Guide
Seattle's main planning windows are the wet season from October through April, rare winter snow setups, and late-summer smoke or heat events.
Radar helps identify convergence-zone bands and rain shadow effects that can make conditions very different between Seattle, the Eastside, and north-south corridors.
