<p>will help us in packing.</p>
<p>55 and rainy to 80 and sunny. Still in the iffy range. Sunny for sure begins after July 4th in most years, if at all. Today was fifties and rain.</p>
<p>wow…thanks though.</p>
<p>simba, barrons is correct about our summer. It does start the day after the big fireworks show. 
Plan to dress in layers, and strip/add some depending on the temperature. If you bring a Northface jacket, you’ll blend with the natives well. Also, white or wool socks with hiking sandals make you look like you are one of us. Grab a Stabucks latte, and no one will even notice you are from out of state. Just do not say “Washington State”. A local paper run a mock contest for the best WA tourism promotion slogan. The winner was “If you have to say “state”, we don’t want you”. 
Of course, I’m just kidding! We love our visitors! Jeans, t-shirts, fleece, comfy shoes and anything informal will do. We Seattle dwellers make good targets for that What Not to Wear show.</p>
<p>what kind of weather to expect in Seattle (May30-June 10)?</p>
<p>when you find out let me know.
:)</p>
<p>Today was 55 this Fri is projected to be 87.
That is right now.
Ask again in a couple days.</p>
<p>Yep, everything they said it correct, it has been a very slow to start spring, tulips which should have been an April thing are at their prime in my area now, I hope that doesn’t mean we lose the July sun :(</p>
<p>Think layers, think shorts with a sweatshirt, maybe capris by then, but mainly layers as it is so changeable all the time.</p>
<p>we will be visiting again in mid July. Can I expect Texas weather by then?</p>
<p>I guess I should have guessed the high season by the rental car prices. In july I am paying almost double.</p>
<p>Partly sunny, which means the sun peaks out for a total of about three minutes at 5:30 a.m. ;)</p>
<p>Expecting weather in Seattle is like trying to make a steady income by playing the lottery.</p>
<p>No raincoat - that’s just for “foreigners”. Practice your pronunciation of Puyallup and Sequim.</p>
<p>No raincoat - that’s just for "foreigners</p>
<p>Or people who aren’t outside much
since in one day it can be 70 or so in the sun then downpour for an hour,staying cloudy and perhaps even breezy the rest of the day, I bring a shell with me always .</p>

<p>::::::::wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes.:::::::::</p>
<p>average high temp in July/august is 75F- average low 56F</p>
<p>Not what I would typically think of as Texas weather- although if you are heading east of mountains- dryer & hotter.</p>
<p>We never get Texas weather. When Seattle goes into the 90s it’s front page news.</p>
<p>You should check the forecast a few days before your trip. If you’re very lucky, you’ll have 75 (to 80)-degree sunny days and cool evenings in the 50s. If you’re not lucky, you could have ten days of cool misty rain in the 50’s. If you really need to plan right now, I’d go with a light fleece, light pants and light-weight long-sleeved shirts. </p>
<p>Are you staying in the city? Are you planning on hiking or other outdoor activities? </p>
<p>And even in July you can get a run of cool drizzly days.</p>
<p>Layers. You just gotta have layers.</p>
<p>The weather people are notorious for getting the forecast wrong. </p>
<p>Right now the sun is shining but I see dark ominous clouds to the west-typical. Those weather people are saying sunshine later in the week, but I will believe it when I see it. I keep an assortment of layers in the back of my car almost year round.</p>
<p>I have bought more pairs of sunglasses over the years than I care to count. They go unused for such long stretches, I misplace them. Then when the sun does come out it’s so darned BRIGHT and I’m just not used to it-I need a pair quick!</p>
<p>Maybe I’m getting old, but it’s been one very long, chilly damp spring. July 5 can’t come quick enough (and that could be wishful thinking).</p>
<p>Layers, you just gotta have layers.</p>
<p>“I’ll believe it when I see it”–the key to Seattle weather. I look outside and decide what sort of day we will have-. Then half the time when I drive 25 miles from home to Seattle CBD it will be somewhat different. Rainfall around the area can easily vary 50% on average. The airport gets about 33 inches but out in the foothills where I am some areas get over double that and there are rainforest looking areas in the shady spots.</p>
<p>“Partly sunny, which means the sun peaks out for a total of about three minutes at 5:30 a.m.”</p>
<p>I thought that happens only in Cleveland.</p>
<p>Discussing the weather is so much fun for us Seattle dwellers.</p>
<p>It could be glorius during your stay–and we deserve a great summer this year–or, it could be warm and rainy, or cool and rainy… or cold and rainy.</p>
<p>Casual clothes, shorts yes, but, one light layer on top, one fleece layer “just in case” and you will be good.</p>
<p>If the weather is great, you will want to move here. If it isn’t, you will think we are all insane for staying!</p>

<p>“Or people who aren’t outside much

<p>Works for flashers, too. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>[perhaps you are thinking of Portland’s mayor?](<a href=“'Expose Yourself to Art' Art Print - M. Ryerson | Art.com”>'Expose Yourself to Art' Art Print - M. Ryerson | Art.com)
;)</p>
<p>I wasn’t thinking Burberry- but a shell that stuffs in a pouch ( or if you don’t need your hands an umbrella that folds up works too)
But if you arent’ going to be outside a lot and mostly downtown- you can always scurry under cover.</p>
<p>When we visit Seattle I always forget to bring my summer jacket, since “summer” and “jacket” don’t belong in the same sentence in Texas. Bring something waterproof with a hood - it never seems to rain hard enough to make an umbrella worthwhile.</p>
<p>I just tell people we are ducks, and so, from our perspective, it never rains when we’re under water.</p>
<p>Well we are here, and we haven’t done anything interesting outdoors. It has been raining all day for the past week and it is very cold. The temp. hasn’t gone above 55 F. I have forgotten how sunlight feels like.</p>
<p>People are less fat than Houston, but there seems to be lot more smokers than Houston. Driving is terrible. Drivers also honk a lot if you are bit slow in starting or taking a turn. The streets die or change their names at random. I still hasn’t figured out how to pay for street parking. Every corner has a starbuck or some local coffee shop. The gas is $4.25.</p>
<p>Oh well, things would be better when we come as tourists in July.</p>
<p>it is so cold- my D was going to go boating today ( purple & white day- culmination of spirit week, also the day when they frosh the freshmen- last year they threw them in the lake * & then bought them ice cream* but it was much warmer)</p>
<p>Driving is terrible</p>
<p>ha ha! yes but it’s hard to say who is worse, the locals or those who have moved here in the last 10 years.</p>
<p>Street parking has kiosks every few spaces- ( green news paper looking metal thing) you buy a ticket with your debit card and then put it on the inside of your passenger window.</p>
