After two unseasonably warm and sunny days in Seattle and western Washington, rain and cooler weather returned on Saturday. Meteorologists say the warm stretch is over and temperatures have returned to seasonal norms. No significant warming is expected in the coming week, and precipitation in the form of periodic showers will continue at least through Thursday.
Saturday’s high was around 13°C (about 55°F), and Sunday is expected to be around 15°C (about 59°F) under mostly cloudy skies. There’s a silver lining: the rain may help lower tree pollen levels, which on Saturday were forecast to be moderate. Allergy specialists explain that light, steady rain washes pollen out of the air, and the increased humidity afterward prevents it from becoming airborne.
