Seattle, grab your raincoats and umbrellas because the forecast is looking like a true Pacific Northwest classic. If you were hoping for a break in the gray, you might be out of luck—rain and clouds are set to dominate the entire week, with only a few dry moments here and there.
The good news? It won’t be a complete washout every day. The bad news? The rain isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Temperatures will stay relatively mild, hanging in the upper 40s to mid-50s, so while you won’t need heavy winter coats, you will need waterproof everything.
A Day-by-Day Breakdown of Seattle’s Soggy Week
Monday, February 17 – Drizzly and Chilly
The week starts off exactly how you’d expect—cloudy, damp, and cool. Light rain will hang around through the morning, with temperatures hovering around 45°F (7°C). The afternoon won’t bring much change, with showers on and off and a high of 50°F (10°C).
Tuesday, February 18 – Mostly Cloudy with a Few Dry Breaks
Not every hour of the day will be rainy, but don’t leave the house without an umbrella. Expect scattered showers and cool air, with highs reaching 54°F (12°C). The rain will pick up again later in the evening, with lows settling around 44°F (7°C).
Wednesday, February 19 – The Rain Returns
Morning temperatures will start around 43°F (6°C), and light rain will turn steadier as the day goes on. Expect highs to reach 49°F (9°C), but with the gray skies and drizzle, it’ll feel a bit chillier.

The morning will bring stronger breezes and scattered showers, with temperatures in the mid-40s. It won’t be an all-day downpour, but you’ll still need a raincoat. Highs will reach 53°F (12°C), with a few brief breaks from the rain.
Friday, February 21 – The Wettest Day of the Week?
Get ready for a true Seattle-style rainstorm. Showers will turn heavier, and winds will pick up, making it feel chillier than the actual 57°F (14°C) high. Evening plans? Bring rain boots, because it’s going to be soggy.
