sweaters/umbrellas?
 

We will be in Washington June 10-15th. I'm a California girl and I'm not sure of the weather. Do I need a sweater for evenings, does it cool off when the sun goes down??? Thanks! Margo

Washington State? i'm in Seattle and it's hard to predict. Thur/Fri last week hit 90 degrees, sunny and clear. Now this weekend has been a breezy mid-60's and overcast. So I'd bring a light weight sweater or layers or some sort. I wear tank tops with a jackety something over it often, that's how much it can change in one day. As for rain most locals in Seattle just get wet, rarely use umbrellas (silly i know but it's true you'll see).

Our summer doesn't start until July. June weather is unpredictable; however, I think you would be better served with a light weight jacket rather than a sweater.

Oops, when I wrote the question I highlighted Washington, DC. I thought it would show up as that. Sorry!
Love Seattle but wrong coast! Thanks!

gogoellen, you rarely need anything in the evenings in D.C. this time of year, but it never hurts to have a light wrap/thin silky sweater in case you find yourself in a chilly restaurant or movie, i.e. The weather has been so freaky at times on the East Coast the last few years, I wouldn't bet on anything! :-)

Bonnie, my mom and I did a New York City trip two years ago in June. I packed my "summer" clothes...well, it rained and was cold every day but our last!! Almost every picture I am in the same outfit...it was my warmest! Oh well, we had a great time! Thanks for the info!

gogoellen, you're most welcome! The evening will likely be low 60's. I usually don't bother with sweaters/jackets unless I HAVE to... but better safe than sorry! At least, you'll have it.... :-)
