Seattle experiences second driest March in decades

2019 has been a year for weather records.

After earning the titles of snowiest February, coldest February since 1989, and hottest winter day, Seattle experienced its second driest March in decades.

Sea-Tac Airport recorded 1.37 inches of rain for the month. The record was set in 1965 when 0.57 inches of rain fell. The third driest March was in 1979 with 1.55 inches; 1973 is in fourth place with 1.62 inches.

Even though Seattle experienced three record-breaking days of warm weather earlier this month, we won't come close to the warmest March on record. The average high temperature so far this month is 56.3 degrees, which is 3.9 degrees warmer than usual; however, it's still in ninth place.

I've been very nervous about how little rain we've received this March. If it turns out to continue into April, August skies will be practically unbreathable.
