What is the weather like in Seattle, WA around late December?

Answer 1

Late December is very dark here, usually only about 6-7 hours of daylight, most of which are usually gloomy and drizzly. Temps can range anywhere from the mid-twenties on the cold side and mid-fifties on the high side, with averages right around 45 degrees.

Weather is mild. You might get a little snow, but it usually melts by mid-day. Expect rain and about 35-50 degree weather. There is some type of event somewhere almost every weekend. I look up a local radio station and it give 5 things during the week end to do under $25. Something interesting to note if you don't know the area is Western Washington and Eastern Washington is as different as night and day. It's divided by the mountains and as you fly over during the summer, you can see the line of brown to green. It's not gradual, it's a line. In Western WA it's all forest and trees and rain. In Eastern WA it's like the rest of the mid-west. Flat, dry, and mostly empty. When people talk of going to WA and end up in Eastern WA they don't get what the big deal is. So be sure to stay in Western WA. Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue etc is Western. Spokane, Yakima, Wanatchee is Eastern. "be sure to bring an umbrella, chap stick" lol, a true sign of a tourist is someone with an umbrella and chap stick. The random gushes of wind will turn it inside out and make it worthless. Wear a hat. Because the humidity is so high, moisturizer is really only for the smell. Had a friend come from Utah and she was amazed in 1 week she didn't need to use lotion or chap stick once.

Answer 3

The weather in Western Washington around December tends to hover around 48-58 degrees; with mix days of sun, overcast clouds, and rain. Every two-three years, we get a good snow storm (generally last no more than two days) sometime between November through February. Although our weather sounds gloomy, it makes for great ski and snow conditions up in the mountains if you're into winter activities.

Most people associate "rain" with the heavy rainfall that is experienced in Eastern/Southwestern parts of the United States. Seattle is more of a relaxing light drizzle; sometimes with a hint of wind.
