SEATTLE – November in the Puget Sound region brings cooler days, darker skies and plenty of rain – a sure sign that the wet season has arrived.
On Nov. 1, Seattle’s average high temperature typically sits around 55 degrees, but by the end of the month it dips closer to 49 degrees, according to long-term climate data.
As temperatures fall, residents can expect to break out the gloves, hats and extra layers as winter approaches across Western Washington.
The Seattle area’s average first freeze, when temperatures hit 32 degrees or below, arrives around Nov. 11. This early cold snap often signals the start of winter’s chillier, frostier mornings.
November delivers an average of 6.31 inches of rain in Seattle, making it the city’s wettest month of the year.
