Not ranked as a sun destination — shown for reference.
Seattle sits under maritime skies in USA, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the July peak reaches a 99/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 25°C — a solid base for a city break.
July is the heat peak, averaging 25°C highs; December is the cool end, when nights dip to around 2°C. On the rain ledger, July is the safest bet at a 9% chance of a wet day, while December climbs to 59%. If 24°C is your bar for proper warmth, count on July–August.
The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 23°C against winter's 8°C, while rain-day odds move from 56% in winter and 43% in spring to 18% in summer and 46% through autumn. That makes summer the statistical sweet spot (season score 97), with spring a workable second; winter is where the odds thin out.
