Summer Weather in Seattle

Did you know we have the best summer weather in the whole country? I think the word is getting out; we are a fast growing city and experiencing a boom time for tourism. As the northern most big city in America (farther north than Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal) we have 16hrs of daylight at the summer solstice. You can tee off before 5:00am and play until almost 10:00pm! While most of the country is baking or sweltering we enjoy an average summer high of only 74 degrees and average low of 54 degrees. Open those windows at night and close them in the day and you will not need air-conditioning! We get above 90 degrees only 3 times a year on average and have hit 100 degrees or above only three times. 103 degrees is our all-time record high temperature - 7/29/2009. How about all the Seattle rain?!? We get on average only 3.15 inches of rain in the summer months while most of the country gets afternoon thunderstorms and seasonal monsoon weather. ENJOY!!!
