on averave, how many days a year does it rain in seattle, wa?

Answer 1

"Despite being partially in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, the city of Seattle has a reputation for frequent rain. In reality, the "rainy city" receives an unremarkable 38 inches (970 mm) of precipitation a year, less than most major cities of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, such as New York City, which has an annual average 47.3 inches (1200 mm) of precipitation. Seattle's worldwide reputation for rain derives from the fact that it is cloudy an average of 226 days per year (vs. 132 in New York City) and the fact that most of its precipitation falls consistently as drizzle or light rain, with snow typically falling within the city limits only once or twice a year. While not all that much rain falls in total, then, the winters are filled with days on which at least a little rain does fall, and even if it does not rain it usually looks as if it may."
