seattle wa how much rain
How many days of rain does Seattle get in a year? About 150. How many days of sun? On average, about 58 per year, but many of our cloudy days feature what we call sunbreaks or some sun breaking through, so cloudy does not mean dreary or rainy necessarily. Average rainfall in Seattle? 37 inches, which is less than many major cities. Number of cloudy days each year? About 225 (most of them in the autumn and winter). What cities get more rain than Seattle? Several! Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and even Portland all get more inches of rain per year than Seattle. Portland just edges Seattle out with an annual average rainfall of 37.5. However, Seattle is known for its steady, gentle rain rather than big storms where many East Coast cities get huge bursts of rainfall all at once.
