Historical weather data, all-time temperature records, and monthly climate averages for Port Angeles, WA. Explore typical weather conditions by week for trip planning, and see how today compares to the historical record.
Port Angeles sits in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, which gives it a surprisingly mild and dry climate for the Pacific Northwest. Highs stay in the low-to-mid 40s this time of year, rarely swinging to extremes — the coldest day on record for the entire period was just 11°, set back in January 1950.
Port Angeles keeps things remarkably temperate across its 78-year record — the hottest it's ever gotten is 80°, and the coldest a relatively modest 11°. The wettest single day on record dumped 3.34 inches in February 1949, a reminder that when Pacific storms do breach the Olympic rain shadow, they can still punch hard.
Summer is short but sweet here, with average highs peaking around 63–65° in late July and early August — ideal for hiking Olympic National Park without the heat. Winters are cool and grey but seldom brutal, with January highs averaging 42°. If you're rain-averse, avoid late November through early December, the wettest stretch of the year.
