Summer

June in Seattle is warm and pleasant, while July is the hottest month of the year. August also has great weather for camping so make sure you bring sunscreen for whenever you're outdoors. You still need warm clothes for the cool evenings.

Autumn

You can still expect sunny days in September and October, although the temperature begins to get lower in November. This is also the wettest month of the year so make sure you have a rain jacket as well as several warm clothing.

Winter

The temperature dips to the mid 40's in December, and there is the possibility of snow in January. It is slightly warmer in February, although the rain keeps coming. Pack a rain jacket and warm clothes when visiting in Winter.

Spring

The cool and rainy weather continues in March and April. May is the warmest Spring month, with a few sunny days. The evenings will still be chilly and wet, which is why you'll be needing warm clothing and a rain jacket when you come over.
