24 May 10 - Last year, Seattle was already heading toward the 80s at
the end of May, says Scott Sistek of KOMO TV. In 2008, Seattle
notched its first 90 on May 17.
So far this year, we've barely eked out a 72, with mainly 60s still
dotting the forecast for the foreseeable future.
Just how rare is it that we go so long before reaching 75 degrees?
We're nearing Top 5 territory, says Sistek. Here are the latest 75
degree days throughout Sea-Tac history:
1) 1991: June 9
2) 1955: June 8
3) 2000: June 3
4) 1981: May 28
5) 1964: May 27
6) 1950: May 25
7) 1986: May 25
8) 1948: May 24
So as of today (May 24), we'll be tied for 6th latest. Long-range
models show pretty confidently we'll slide into at least fourth
place on Friday, and odds look pretty good we'll make it past June
3rd for third place.
