Climate and Weather Details
If there's one thing the Olympic Peninsula is known for, it's precipitation. The Hoh Rain Forest, for example, gets 12 feet of rain annually, and an average of 50 feet of snow falls on the peak of Mt. Olympus each year. The mountains that collect the rain also protect the peninsula from cold Arctic air from the north, and the nearby ocean helps to maintain moderate temperatures that seldom fall below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, even in the dead of winter. Summer temperatures at sea level typically remain between 60 and 70 degrees F.
