The weather in Bellingham is generally described as mild. The yearly temperatures average 57 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit or 14 and 5 degrees C. for the hi and low temperatures. Bellingham receives an average annual rainfall of 34.8 inches. The rainy season can last as long as eight months or more out of the year. That much rain leaves the city with unscapeable beautiful scenery year around. Bellingham's location and geography is occasionally subject it to an unusual and harsh weather pattern known locally as a "Nor'Easter." Effectively, an inverted jet stream can drive down cold sub-Arctic air from the Canadian interior, usually through the Fraser River Canyon. This cold air mass can collide with a Gulf of Alaska cold front and create high winds, road ice, snow, or heavy rains. A "Silver Thaw" can result and wind chill equivalents can slide well under 0 °F. Such an event was recorded on November 28, 2006. Outside air temperatures of 12 °F (−11 °C) were accompanied by 30 to 48 mph (48 to 77 km/h) winds with humidity as high as 61%. Wind chill equivalents reached −10 °F (−23 °C) according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Another weather phenomenon, known as the "Chinook wind," happens in the autumn. For most of a day an unusually warm and steady wind comes out of the south. It is essentially a reverse "Nor'Easter." -Wikipedia I came here from the mid-west to Bellingham 6 years ago, and I personally am at peace with the yearly weather in Bellingham! I know we get a lot of rain in the fall and winter months, but nowhere else I lived have I had flowers bloom in the middle of December! We do get some snow, but nothing like an hour drive away to Mount Baker! This year so far, (2008) they have received over 17 feet of snow! So if we want to play in the snow, we don't have far to go to enjoy it. Here is a current look at Bellingham Bay! Compliments of Bellingham Cold Storage. The webcam updates every minute of the day!
