Seattle’s Midwinter Warmth and Upcoming Events

Seattle is experiencing an unseasonably warm stretch this week, with temperatures climbing into the upper 50s and possibly reaching 60°F. This ‘springuary’ weather arrives shortly after the 76th anniversary of Seattle’s record low of 0°F, set on January 27, 1950. The warmth is due to a high-pressure ridge over the region, though skies are expected to remain mostly cloudy and foggy. Residents can enjoy early spring-like conditions in the heart of winter.
