Dive into the Weather Around the Neighborwoods
From foggy mornings to golden autumns to the sun-soaked perfection of summer, each season brings its own personality to this corner of the Pacific Northwest. Tehaleh embraces the varying climate, weather systems, and often surprises its visitors with a few treats of its own strewn about the beautiful landscape.
Winter and the Elusive Fake Spring
January: The Post-Holiday Calm
Average High: 44°F
Average Low: 34°F
Daylight Hours: ~8.5 hours
After the holiday hustle, January settles into a quiet rhythm. The reality of winter has welcomed in a cozy spirit: people redeeming food delivery gift cards and honing in on their New Year’s resolutions. It’s a time for fireplaces, warm drinks, and the occasional snow flurry.
January, often the coldest month, has Tehaleans embrace the season with trips to the mountains. While Tehaleh itself doesn’t see much heavy snowfall, the surrounding ski & snowboard areas like Crystal Mountain, Snoqualmie Pass, and Stevens Pass are all within a short day’s trip.
February is the Trickster Month: Fake Spring Arrives
Average High: 48°F
Average Low: 36°F
Daylight Hours: 9 hours 38 minutes (Feb 1) → 11 hours 3 minutes (Feb 28)
February in Tehaleh is a master of deception. One day, the sky clears, the birds chirp, and early buds begin to peek through. The air smells fresher, and a big winter coat feels unnecessary. This is Fake Spring, a fleeting but invigorating period that tricks us into believing winter is over. Then, March arrives to remind us that we’re not quite there yet. But those sunny days in February are a glorious moment.
The Season of Mud, Growth, and Unpredictability
Spring is when Tehaleh begins to shake off winter’s grip and slowly come alive. It’s a season of transition. Muddy trails, warming days, and a gradual return of the sun.
March: Real Spring? Look for the Cherry Blossoms
Average High: 53°F
Average Low: 38°F
Daylight Hours: 11 hours 6 minutes (March 1) → 12 hours 48 minutes (March 31)
March in Tehaleh is a mix of stubborn winter and the insistence of spring. The cherry blossoms begin to bloom, adding bursts of whitish pink to a green landscape. For those still holding out hope for snow, the occasional dusting might appear in the early weeks. For even more who like to wake up with the sun, the days stretch longer and Daylight Savings ends (finally!).
April: The Unofficial Start of Hiking Season
Average High: 59°F
Average Low: 41°F
Daylight Hours: 12 hours 51 minutes (April 1) → 14 hours 24 minutes (April 30)
April is wet. There’s no getting around it. But all that rain fuels the explosion of greenery that will soon transform Tehaleh into a lush paradise. If you’re venturing outdoors, waterproof boots are essential.
May: The Underrated Gem of the Pacific Northwest
Average High: 66°F
Average Low: 47°F
Daylight Hours: 14 hours 27 minutes (May 1) → 15 hours 38 minutes (May 31)
By May, you can finally put winter behind you. The mountain views become a near-daily spectacle, and while the weather is still unpredictable, the balance tips in favor of sunshine. The parks and trails aren’t packed yet, making it an ideal time to explore Tehaleh.
Peak PNW Beauty in the Summer
Summer in Tehaleh is nothing short of spectacular. The days stretch long into the evening, the morning skies gleam the deepest shade of blue, and every weekend feels like a postcard-worthy adventure.
June: A Slow Burn into Summer
Average High: 71°F
Average Low: 51°F
Daylight Hours: 15 hours 39 minutes (June 1) → 15 hours 50 minutes (June 30)
The first half of June often feels more like an extension of spring. Those cloudy mornings and a few lingering showers might be a flashback to the big dark…but right around the solstice, summer fully commits. Sunsets at 9 PM become the norm, while outdoor dining at the community garden fiesta tables, park concerts at Discovery Park, and trail adventures begin in earnest.
July: The Pinnacle
Average High: 74°F
Average Low: 50°F
Sunny Days: 25
Rainy Days: 6
July is *chef’s kiss* perfect. With low humidity and consistently warm temperatures, it’s a month designed for being outside. Whether you’re exploring one of Tehaleh's many walking trails, barbecuing, or just soaking in the sun at one of Tehaleh's 16 different parks, July is the time to enjoy peak PNW beauty.
August: The Toastiest Month
Average High: 79°F
Average Low: 54°F
August often brings the year’s warmest days. Heat waves aren’t uncommon these days, but they usually don’t last long. This is prime time for alpine lake swims, day trips to the coast, and beach days along the Puget Sound.
Fall in Love with Tehaleh Autumn
As summer fades, Tehaleh puts on a spectacular autumn show. The last bit of outdoor music shows wrap up, the first cool air arrives, and school clocks back into session.
September: The Shift
Average High: 71°F
Average Low: 50°F
September is a balance between warm afternoons and cool evenings. The summer crowds begin to thin, making it one of the best months for hiking and exploring.
October: Autumn in Full Swing
Average High: 60°F
Average Low: 45°F
By mid-October, the landscape has transformed into deep reds, oranges, and golds. Leaves start falling, cozy sweaters come out, and there’s a new crispness in the air.
November: Here Comes The Rain
Average High: 50°F
Average Low: 40°F
At some point in early November, a massive rainstorm will hit. This is the moment when Tehaleh fully transitions into its rainy season. But locals know not to despair. This is the best time to get cozy, start a new book, and embrace the PNW’s moody side.
