Seattle weather today is sunny and 65°F—one of those rare, crystal-clear spring days that makes you forget our rainy reputation. Conditions are nearly perfect for getting outside, with just light north-northeast winds at 1 to 8 mph and virtually zero chance of rain.
This is an ideal window for outdoor activities across the metro. Head to Green Lake for a morning run or bike ride, or grab an outdoor yoga mat and stretch by the water while you’ve got this sunshine. Golfers should absolutely take advantage—if you’ve been eyeing new gear, this is prime time to test it out. Check out our Best Golf Rangefinders Under $300 guide if you’re looking to upgrade your game.
If you’re heading to Climate Pledge Arena tonight for the Seattle Storm vs. Portland Fire preseason game (7 PM PT), you’re in luck—the weather won’t impact your travel, and you can grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support. For those catching the Tacoma Rainiers vs. Las Vegas Aviators at Cheney Stadium (also tonight), conditions are ideal for tailgating. A portable propane grill would be perfect if you’re planning to cook before first pitch.
One heads-up: late April pollen counts are ramping up in the Puget Sound region. If you’re dealing with spring allergies, consider grabbing an allergy relief nasal spray or a pollen count face mask before heading outside for extended periods. A HEPA air purifier indoors will also help you breathe easier tonight.
Wednesday night stays mostly clear and mild, dropping to 47°F by dawn. Temperatures actually rise slightly overnight to around 49°F, which is unusually comfortable for late April.
Thursday continues the streak with mostly sunny skies and a high near 71°F—even better than today. This is shaping up to be a fantastic two-day stretch to tackle yard work, get the lawn fertilized, or simply enjoy Mt. Rainier visibility if you’re heading east toward the Cascades.
For tonight’s dinner, take advantage of the mild evening and fire up a propane gas grill for something simple—grilled chicken, salmon, or veggies pair perfectly with spring weather. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: enjoy this sunshine while it lasts. The pattern holds through Friday, making this your best window for outdoor concerts too—catch Patrick Watson - Uh Oh Tour at Neptune Theatre Thursday night with clear skies overhead, or grab tickets on SeatGeek for any other events on your radar.
