About: Climate of Seattle

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	The climate of Seattle is temperate, classified in the Mediterranean zone by the main climatic classification (Köppen: Csb) but some sources put the city in the oceanic zone (Cfb). It has cool, wet winters and mild, relatively dry summers, covering characteristics of both. The climate is sometimes characterized as a "modified Mediterranean" climate because it is cooler and wetter than a "true" Mediterranean climate, but shares the characteristic dry summer (which has a strong influence on the region's vegetation). The city and environs are part of USDA hardiness zone 8b, with isolated coastal pockets falling under 9a. Records for the Seattle City area date back to 1894, with records at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport beginning in 1945. The hottest officially recorded temperature was 108 °F (42 °C) on June 28, 2021; the coldest recorded temperature was 0 °F (−18 °C) on January 31, 1950; the record cold daily maximum is 16 °F (−9 °C) on January 14, 1950, while, conversely, the record warm daily minimum is 73 °F (23 °C) on June 27, 2021. Seattle generally does not experience many extremes of weather. Thunderstorms are rare, as the city reports thunder on just seven days per year. Similarly, the city typically receives at least light snowfall every year, though heavy snowfall is uncommon. (en)
