40 days without rain! Seattle 11 days from record dry spell. At Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah on Friday afternoon there were sitters, walkers and stand-up paddlers â and one not paddling. Seattle is close to breaking a record for uninterrupted dry weather, and the forecast is for dry weather into next week.
There is very little rain in this season, with a lot of very hot, dry days expected, and absolutely no fog or snow predicted, so don't expect any freak turns for the worst if you're in Seattle in July.

The average daily temperature expected in Seattle in this month is 23 C (73 F) , dropping to an average temperature of 13 C (55 F) .
