January 2013 in Seattle was significantly colder & drier than normal. The mean temperature was 38.2F/3.44C. The normal mean temperature is 42F/5.55C. The highest temperature was 53F/11.66C on 1/8, the lowest was 24F/-4.44C on 1/13. Total precipitation was 4.16 inches. Normal precipitation is 5.57 inches. There was 1 day with heavy rain, 2 days with rain, 17 days with light rain, 1 day with light snow, 25 days with fog, 11 days of fog with visibility at less than 1/4 mile, 4 days with haze, 23 cloudy days, 5 partly cloudy days & 3 fair days.
It was very unusual that no rain fell for 12 days between 1/11 & 1/22. It was fairly cold, with highs mostly below 40F/4.44C & lows below freezing every night. But even without rain, it was very moist. The ground remained wet, with frost every morning & thin ice in places. 6 consecutive days of fog came at the end of this period, sometimes quite heavy & lingering throughout the day. The weather returned to normal on 1/23 with rain & temperatures well above freezing. The fog was beautiful, yet oddly inhibiting. I did not go out walking, or work in the garden.
