Puget Sound Marine Layer Brings Cooler Temperatures
A marine layer is currently affecting the Puget Sound region, bringing cooler temperatures and overcast conditions. This phenomenon occurs when a layer of cool, moist air is trapped beneath a layer of warmer air, often leading to fog and low clouds. The marine layer is a common occurrence in coastal areas, particularly during the summer months, and can significantly impact local weather patterns. According to the source, the marine layer is expected to persist, influencing daily temperatures and visibility in the area. Residents and visitors may experience cooler daytime temperatures compared to inland areas, as well as reduced visibility due to fog.
