Climate Insight: Brookings, OR
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Brookings, Oregon as a location with an annual average temperature of 54°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 60°F to a mean daily low of 48°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from 2 weather stations, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Brookings receives roughly 77.6 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near January 31 and the first fall freeze near December 27. For energy use, 4,080 heating degree days and 28 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Brookings scores 47/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows — shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
