Seattle is waking up to full sunshine and a high near 82°F today, Monday June 22 — zero percent chance of rain, north winds at 2 to 10 mph, and clear skies from the Puget Sound waterfront to the Cascades. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to get outside, this is your week.
Today’s Setup
An upper-level ridge is now directly overhead, according to the National Weather Service. Low coastal stratus that clung to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Whidbey Island overnight will burn off well before noon. Offshore low-level flow is pushing temps into the low 80s across the interior — a few spots near the water may top out in the upper 70s, but most of Seattle proper hits near 82°F. Tonight: partly cloudy, low around 61°F, light north-northeast breeze — great sleeping weather with the windows cracked.
Best Window To Be Outside
All day is yours. Alki Beach, Gas Works Park, and the Myrtle Edwards waterfront trail are ideal today. On a clear day like this, Mt. Rainier is fully visible from Seward Park and Beacon Hill — worth a look before clouds roll back in by the weekend. Heading to the Burke-Gilman Trail or Discovery Park for a longer outing? Bring a picnic basket set for 4 and make an afternoon of it. Check the full Seattle weather forecast for updated details through the weekend.
Events This Week: Concerts, Baseball, and World Cup
Tonight, HONNE celebrates their 10-year anniversary tour at Neptune Theatre (June 22) — indoors, no weather concerns. Tuesday, the Tacoma Rainiers host the Round Rock Express at Cheney Stadium (June 23) under near-86°F skies. Find tickets on StubHub and grab Official team gear on Fanatics before heading south to Tacoma.
Wednesday brings two big events: the Don Toliver: Octane Tour at Climate Pledge Arena and the World Cup Group B match (Qatar vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina) at Lumen Field — both June 24, both indoors or covered. Want to rep the show? Pick up a Don Toliver t-shirt before you go.
Thursday, the Fuerza Regida: This Is Our Dream Stadium Tour 2026 lands at T-Mobile Park (June 25) right as cooler, drier air replaces the heat — actually ideal outdoor concert conditions after a hot week. Get tickets on SeatGeek early.
Grilling Weather: Dinner Tonight
Perfect grilling weather — fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of perfect doneness, and a grill brush and scraper set will have your grates ready in minutes. Need supplies? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door. While you’re browsing outdoor gear deals, the 2-Person Intex Floating Lounge with Cooler for $24 is worth grabbing before temps peak mid-week.
Next Few Days
Tuesday climbs to near 86°F, Wednesday near 87°F — the National Weather Service notes most interior locations will fall just a couple of degrees short of all-time June records. Thursday brings a significant cool-down as low-level onshore flow returns. The first weather system in two weeks arrives Friday, with an upper-level low moving over Western Washington Saturday before pushing east Sunday. Book your outdoor plans for Monday through Wednesday and save the weekend for indoor activities.
