Two weeks after the first official day of spring and many Puget Sound-area residents have yet to enjoy a 60-degree day this year.

To put it another way, we haven’t experienced 60-degree weather for about five months. But we’ve come close.
The National Weather Service reports Sea-Tac hit a high of 58 on March 23, three days after spring officially began. Seattle hit 59 degrees on March 29.
But the region continues to struggle with cooler temps, despite the sun making several appearances over the past several days.
Now three days into April and we are tied for sixth for the length of time without a 60-degree day — at least at Sea-Tac. The longest the area has gone without hitting 60 was April 11, 1954.
Weather models show a possibility of reaching 60 degrees Tuesday, or perhaps Wednesday.
If that doesn’t happen, however, there is a chance we could break the record for longest number of days without reaching 60 degrees. Forecasts call for daily highs to begin dropping after Wednesday. By the weekend, we could once again see highs in the low- to mid-50s.
At least the rain is starting to subside.
