Climate Insight: Paulina, OR
An annual average temperature of 47°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 63°F to a mean daily low of 30°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Paulina, Oregon. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00356500 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Paulina averages an uncharted amount of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall, and that matters as much to daily life here as temperature does. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. As for energy demand, 6,897 heating degree days and 191 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Paulina scores 52/100 (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 July-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.
