Troutdale's wet season runs through the cold months

December, January and February carry 37% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 8%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 28.6°F seasonal spread.

Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.

Data-derived climate profile

How Troutdale's climate pattern fits together

heating led · wet · low swing

Heating is the larger measured load in Troutdale, at 4,574 degree days versus 361 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 28.6°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.

Troutdale's frost-free season lasts about 236 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.

Troutdale's 28.6°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 53°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.

Alongside its heating load, Troutdale carries 48.4 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.

These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Troutdale's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Troutdale, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
