The Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ) is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs over Puget Sound in the U.S. state of Washington. It is formed when the large-scale air flow splits around the Olympic Mountains and then converges over Puget Sound. This convergence zone generally occurs between north Seattle and Everett and can cause updrafts and convection, which leads to a narrow band of precipitation. The National Weather Service publishes special reports, forecasts, and graphical analyses for the PSCZ region.

| - La Zone de Convergence de Puget Sound est un effet local de la circulation atmosphérique dans la région de Puget Sound dans l'État américain de Washington. Il se forme lorsque le vent océanique se sépare en deux pour contourner les montagnes Olympiques avant de converger de l'autre côté dans le détroit. Cette convergence a lieu en général aux environs de la banlieue nord de Seattle à Everett et cause des phénomènes d'ascendance et de convection atmosphérique donnant de mince bandes de précipitations. La pluviométrie sur le pic Glacier, situé à l'est de Puget Sound dans la chaîne des Cascades, s'élève ainsi entre 3 560 et 4 570 mm d'eau. (fr)

| - The Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ) is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs over Puget Sound in the U.S. state of Washington. It is formed when the large-scale air flow splits around the Olympic Mountains and then converges over Puget Sound. This convergence zone generally occurs between north Seattle and Everett and can cause updrafts and convection, which leads to a narrow band of precipitation. A second, weaker convergence zone can occur between approximately Victoria, British Columbia, and Bellingham, Washington, over the San Juan Islands, as a result of southwesterly air blowing from the Strait of Juan de Fuca meeting northerly air moving southward down the Strait of Georgia. The National Weather Service publishes special reports, forecasts, and graphical analyses for the PSCZ region. (en)
