September to December and January to June. The summers are nice. *smiles* Raining it's pouring during spring and fall Rain and snow during the winter -L It's wet all the time.......thats why it's so beautiful here...green green green! In the Spring, there can be different kinds of weather, a few days ago I was wearing shorts, now I'm pulling out my winter clothes! In the fall it is very dry and cold, definitely a long pants season! For about 3 years, it hadn't snowed in winter, and finally, toward the end of winter (February), this year, it did, we got dumped on, but don't count on it snowing if you ever come! We have very hot summers! At least 90 degrees each day! Last year, although, it was way to hot, 105 every day! It rains from October to June, most years. The winters can be depressing for a lot of people because it's not unusual for weeks to go by when we never see the sun. It's gray and cloudy for days on end. It doesn't snow every year, but some years we get a week or two in December or January when it snows. This year, it snowed in February which is late for us. It goes below freezing, but doesn't stay that cold for very long. Spring is beautiful. There are an amazing number of flowers that bloom. Oregon is the bulb capital of the country and there are bulb farms south of Portland that have acres of tulips, daffodils and irises in bloom. It's gorgeous. There's still lots of rain,but the temperature is usually in the 50's-60's during the day and there are occasional sunny days when it's so beautiful, it'll take your breath away. Summer used to be mild, but in the last twenty years it's gotten where we have weeks of hot weather where it's in the 90's. It gets over 90 and Oregonians want to hide. We're used to mild weather most of the year. There's very little rain in the summer. Occasionally, there's a light shower in July or August, but not much to speak of. Fall is rainy with occasional sunny days. The weather is brisk and chilly, but not really cold. The leaves turn color here and that's pretty. Not as spectacular as in New England but still enjoyable. Bring rain gear :-) |
