Climate Guides
Climate Insight: Grizzly, OR
An annual average temperature of 45°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 61°F to a mean daily low of 30°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Grizzly, Oregon. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00353542 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Beyond temperature, Grizzly averages 13.4 inches of precipitation annually, with 21.2 inches typically falling as snow - a real factor for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. Turning to energy use, 7,211 heating degree days and 99 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Grizzly scores 52/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings December-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
