Seattle, WA – A stretch of dry, sunny weather is settling in across western Washington, giving Seattle residents a break from June gloom and a clear window for weekend plans. Friday, July 11, kicks off a run of mostly sunny skies and rising temperatures that will gradually reach the low 90s by Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, Friday’s high will reach 81°F, with light northwest winds between 5–7 mph by afternoon. The warming trend continues steadily, climbing to 83°F Sunday and peaking near 91°F by Tuesday, July 15. Drivers on I-5 and I-90 can expect excellent road conditions, though those traveling long distances should stay hydrated and watch for heat-related fatigue.
Cities across King County — including Bellevue, Renton, and Kent — can expect similar weather, with overnight lows hovering near 60°F. No rain is in sight, and winds will remain calm into early next week, providing favorable conditions for outdoor events, park days, and summer travel.
Seattle Parks and Recreation reminds residents to wear sunscreen and limit strenuous outdoor activity between 2–5 p.m., when UV levels will be highest. While heat-related illness is not a major concern yet, Monday and Tuesday’s highs near 90°F may challenge vulnerable groups.
High pressure will dominate the region through midweek, with the next possible pattern shift arriving late Wednesday or Thursday. Until then, enjoy the clear skies — and prepare for intensifying heat.
