Some October rain stats by comparison: Las Vegas has received 15 times the rainfall of Seattle thus far this month. San Diego 13 times. And Phoenix 5 times.

[NWS Seattle @NWSSeattle]

You might have noticed that the rainy season is off to a slow start. In 81 years of records, it's Seattle's (Sea-Tac) 8th driest start for October thus far. If we stay dry through Wednesday as expected, we'll climb to 3rd.

With a max of 77° yesterday, we tied 2022 for the latest calendar day with a high temp at or above 75° at Sea-Tac.

Oct 16th 2022 was freakishly warm at 88°.

Odds of reaching 70° again are slim with around a 2% or less chance for any given day through end of October.

¡Si vive cerca de la costa, el terremoto es su alerta natural de tsunami! Agáchese, cúbrase, y sujétese para protegerse durante un terremoto. Si vive en una zona de riesgo de tsunami, también practique dirigirse a terreno elevado o al interior cuando pare de temblar.

If you live near a shoreline, the earthquake is your natural tsunami warning! Stop what you're doing to Drop, Cover, Hold On to protect yourself. If you live in a tsunami hazard zone, you should then practice moving to high ground or inland after the shaking stops.
