Spring in Seattle has slowly started to heat up, with three days to hit near 70 degrees this week. This follows one of the coldest winters recorded in the city’s history.

“According to the National Weather Service’s top forecasting aid, the National Blend of Models, temperatures at SeaTac could surge to 71 degrees on Tuesday before falling back into the 60s,” said Cliff Moss, a professor of atmospheric science at University of Washington.

The heat won’t last long though, as rain is expected to come back this Thursday.

Average rainfall for the city of Seattle is just an inch and a half for June, but this year, the city has already received 1.03” of rain in the first five days of the month.
