Exactly, the summer only lasts for July and August. November to February it rains non-stop, and every other month is hit or miss. You can't really plan any trips because those clouds come out of nowhere. And that was the worst part. I would wake up and the sun is shining. I decide to go ride some trails on my bike, half way to the location it starts to rain. Plans ruined.
- loeg 14y agoOutside of winter (November -> March) the rain is really light and doesn't interfere with wandering around outside. But I'm a Seattlite =).
- meej 14y agoYes, this. An old roommate of mine who was a Seattle-area native called it "spitting drizzle". It's like an agressive fog.
- meej 14y agoThose two months are the best summer you'll find anywhere. When I moved to SF, I missed them dearly. SF summers are terrible, and I found three of them more depressing than seven rainy winters in Seattle ever were. I'll also take nonstop rain from Nov-Feb any day over the snowy winters in the Midwestern states where I grew up. Finally, the key to not letting your plans get ruined by rain is to always plan for the possibility of rain. =)
- cpeterso 14y agoYes, Seattle summers are beautiful. 10 months of rain makes for a very green summer. :)
