Key Routes from SEA

Delay Patterns at SEA

Seattle's maritime climate creates a distinctive delay profile centered on low clouds and persistent rain rather than dramatic weather events:

Fall/Winter (Oct–Mar)

Low ceilings and drizzle are the norm for Seattle from October through March. These conditions regularly require instrument approaches and can reduce arrival rates when ceilings drop below minimum separation requirements. While SEA rarely closes for weather, it frequently operates in reduced capacity. Multiple days of continuous IFR conditions are common in the rainy season.

Fog (Year-Round)

Radiation fog is common in the Puget Sound lowlands, particularly in autumn mornings. Fog events can drop ceilings to near-zero for several hours before burning off. Unlike the dramatic weather delays of other hubs, SEA delays are often low-visibility, moderate, and persistent.

Summer Wildfire Smoke (Jul–Sep)

In recent years, wildfire smoke from Oregon and Washington has reduced SEA visibility significantly. Smoke events can reduce SEA to instrument operations even on otherwise clear days, causing unexpected delays during the typically clear summer season.

Tip: Midday and afternoon departures from SEA have the best on-time performance in fall and winter, as morning fog typically burns off by late morning. Summer departures are generally reliable, though allow extra time for wildfire smoke events.
