Seattle to see more rain this weekend than past four months combined
Since June 18, Seattle has received only 0.55 inches of rain. It’s been one of the driest stretches in the city’s history.

This past weekend was one of the warmest on record, with Sunday’s temperature at Sea-Tac Airport of 88 degrees registering as the second warmest October day in the 130 years of data recording and the warmest this late in the year.
Olympia and Bellingham also saw new daily high-temperature records over the weekend.
