Oregon Climate and Suggested Clothing For
current weather in various Oregon cities/towns >> Because of Oregon's diverse geography the climate varies in the different regions.
Western Oregon includes coastal regions, Portland and the Willamette Valley region (Salem, Monmouth, Corvallis and Eugene) and the west Columbia River region west of the Cascade Mountain Range. The climate in Western Oregon is very typical of the Pacific Northwest. The climate is mild year-around. Neither hot nor cold-it's comfortable all year long. Summers are mild, with low humidity and very little rain. Pleasant temperatures average in the mid-70s fahrenheit / 22°- 26 °C. August is the warmest month, with temperatures in the low to mid-80s fahrenheit / 27° - 30° C. Winter is generally a cloudy and rainy season, with temperatures averaging in the mid 40s fahrenheit and low 50s fahrenheit / 6° - 12° C. Spring and Fall are absolutely gorgeous. Colorful spring flowers and leafy green trees brighten the landscape at every turn, between March - June. Spring weather is always changing—sunny one moment, brief spring showers another. Autumn is long with warm days and cool nights. Brilliant golden and red colored changing trees paint the valleys and hillsides. There's a stereotype that it rains a lot here. Yes, it does rain, 36 inches (90 cm) a year to be exact—that's what makes this region so green. However Portland's annual rainfall is less than that of Atlanta, Birmingham, Houston, Indianapolis or Seattle. About 88 percent of the area's rain falls between October and May; snowfall and below zero temperatures are rare. Average Portland temperatures (in centigrade/celsius)

Oregon LaGrande
and Eastern Oregon: Because of the rugged landscape and lifestyle
in Eastern Oregon, the style of dress is VERY casual, practical, and conservative.
This is cowboy and timber country. Locals may wear jeans, boots and cowboy
hats. The clothing of choice: jeans, T-shirts, polo-shirts, plaid shirts,
flannel shirts, cowboy shirts, sweatshirts (it's practically a uniform
here), with hiking boots or athletic shoes (if you're not the cowboy boot
wearing type). Women dress very casual and seldom wear skirts or dresses.
Be sure to bring a winter jacket and gloves. In the winter buildings are
kept warm inside, so you don't need a lot of heavy clothes, except for
times you plan to be outside. In the summer people wear short-sleeve shirts
and shorts. In the spring and autumn the days might be warm, but it gets
cold at night. You'll need a jacket or sweater for the evenings.
