Puget Sound weather in a nutshell

[Seattle Weather Blog @KSeattleWeather]

@KIROCharlie Yep, El Niño’s got its fingerprints all over this patten. Dry to the north, wetter to the south in CA/AZ. 6 of Seattle’s 10 driest Octobers came during Ninos. This looks to make it 7 of 11!

@seatownwx Of the all dry October Ninos listed, yes. Super strong niños of 82-83, 97-98, 15-16 are better analogs but didn’t have very dry Octobers.

[Seattle Weather Blog @KSeattleWeather]

Six of Seattle’s top-10 driest Octobers were during El Niño years.

Five of the six were followed by snowless winters (1991, 1952, 1969, 1987 & 2002).😢

Oct 1972 (8th-driest) was the exception, with 9.1” of snow falling in the winter of 72-73.

Rooting for a ‘72 outcome! 🙏

Or lots of rain by Halloween!

@thetylerconnell Odds aren’t in our favor. But then again, they were last year …

[Seattle Weather Blog @KSeattleWeather]

10 years ago was Seattle’s wettest October on record.

10 years later, and this could be our driest October on record.

Just 0.08” at Sea-Tac so far. Record driest October is 0.31” from 1987.

[Seattle Weather Blog @KSeattleWeather]

Just 0.01” at Sea-Tac today, but 0.31” in North Seattle, thanks to the Convergence Zone!

Imagine if this had been snow ….

@PugetStormWatch Thank god Sea-Tac got something! Was raining all day here in the CZ

After a warm start to October, today’s high temperature only reached 58°—Seattle’s coldest since May 16

I know it’s sooo 2025 and my kids would cringe if they saw, but…

Today was the second day in a row with a high of 6-7 🤣

[Seattle Weather Blog @KSeattleWeather]

The first week of October was the 6th-warmest on record at Sea-Tac, with an average temp of 60.1° ☀️

1st place stays with 2022, when the region was cloaked in wildfire smoke. 💨
