SEQUIM CLIMATE
Sequim is located in the midst of the Olympic Rain Shadow, a weather phenomenon called the “Blue Hole”. Storms may swirl around the Olympic Mountains which act to squeeze moisture out of the storm like a sponge before the rain drops into our farming basin. A good reason to be called “Sunny Sequim” is that our annual rainfall is comparable to that of Monterey, CA, with an Average Annual Precipitation of ONLY 15”!!! In neighboring Port Angeles, it adds up to almost 25 inches and on the west end of the Peninsula, storms can drop more than 150 inches a year supporting one of the 4 global rain forests on earth. Although further north than Maine, average winter temperatures range between freezing and 50 degrees. In August the average temperature is 72 degrees.
