There’s been no rain in Seattle since June 27, and that dry streak is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.
“No rain now in over two weeks, and no precipitation is in sight,” says Ted Boehner with the National Weather Service.
While dry weather this time of year is not unusual says Boehner, we do typically see an average of .70 inches of rain in July. So far we haven’t seen any of that. He also says climatologically, summer actually doesn’t typically begin in Seattle until July 12.
“So we have been getting bonus summer days since June 27.”
Highs Friday are expected to be in the upper 60’s to low 70’s. KING 5’s Rich Marriott says for the weekend they expect some morning clouds that will turn to partly sunny skies. Temps on Sunday are expected to be the warmest of the weekend with highs near 80.
Marriott says Monday and Tuesday are expected to be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70’s to low 80’s.
“As high pressure rebuilds off the coast Saturday on into next week, we’ll likely see more sunshine and warmer temperatures,” Marriott writes in his extended forecast.
Wednesday and Thursday may be a little cooler. But there is still no word of rain on the horizon.
