The last time we got to the single digits was 1990. Since then, we've only managed to get down to 14/15F in 2010 and 2024 respectively.

Of course it will. If it experienced single digits once, why wouldn't it experience again?

Of course it will. If it experienced single digits once, why wouldn't it experience again? because the climate is warming and temps below 15F, which used to happen every few years in the 20th century no longer happen here 1. The climate isn't warming 2. Even the researchers who believe in anthropogenic climate change claim that there will be colder extremes alongside the warmer extremes.

Even the researchers who believe in anthropogenic climate change claim that there will be colder extremes alongside the warmer extremes. There is a mountain of evidence against your claim: Glaciers are rapidly melting. Almost all of the hottest years on record have been in this century. Trees that used to thrive here in the western Washington lowlands are dying, due to heat and drought.

The hell if I know. Probably not, but OTH Seattle is just south of a very cold continental landmass.

There is a mountain of evidence against your claim: Glaciers are rapidly melting.ย Almost all of the hottest years on record have been in this century. Trees that used to thrive here in the western Washington lowlands are dying, due to heat and drought.ย Not all glaciers. Some are expanding. Yes, because of growing cities causing urban heat islands. Trees are now growing in the Savannas of Africa and the Sahara desert is getting greener due to increased precipitation. Some places getting hotter and drier are compensated by others getting colder and wetter.

Only happened once since 1894, and with Seattle already becoming warmer due to climate change and UHI itโs highly unlikely. Outlying areas might if thereโs an extreme cold snap but not in the UHI. Likely gone the same way as -20 f here.

Likely gone the same way as -20 f here. We've gotten down to the single digits more than once. www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/seattle/lowest-temperatures-by-year

I was using โSeattle City Areaโ on Nowdata which goes back to 1894. The airport has done it 6 times since 1945 but it still hasnโt happened in a long time. I still doubt it, airport will only get more UHI.

It depends where in Seattle. The city proper and near the water, likely not. I'd say less dense areas (less UHI) farther from water could do it though.

Yes, in 2157, after the antimatter bomb from WW4 causes global temperatures to drop significantly.

Vancouver has seen -13.7C/7.3F this January, and Seattle ain't that much different from Vancouver I guess, so yes Seattle should/might see single digits in the future. Also, the word "ever" implies a big ass future time period, and I wouldn't jump so quickly on ruling out some temperature threshold.

Yes, only because there is no definite time period. If the threshold is 2050, then no.

Yes, only because there is no definite time period. If the threshold is 2050, then no. I mean, even if the climate is indeed changing, Seattle will still definitely experience single digit temperatures, at least one million years from now long after humans have gone extinct, the anthropogenic greenhouse gases would have already left the atmosphere and Seattle would return to its default climate. Not to mention the ice ages yet to come, which will make the location that used to be Seattle will commonly experience constant single digit temperatures during the winter.

I hope not lol, but it could go down to 7F, but no lower
