Seattle’s unusual cool streak masked what was actually 8th-warmest June on record

June was the eighth-warmest on record for the Seattle-Tacoma area, averaging 73.7 degrees with two days reaching the 90s, though an unusual cool streak from late June into early July brought below-average temperatures to the Puget Sound region. Looking ahead, meteorologists expect warmer-than-average conditions and possible thunderstorms for late July, with concerning implications for wildfire risk across western Washington.
