The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 85°F around July 12, short of 90°F on every date, while 140 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 17°F near January 24.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 31, then returns to freezing around November 13, covering 140 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
The widest day
September 22 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Woodburn spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 18%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Woodburn has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 48.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.7" and February 2.0". The three wettest months together take 33% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.

Data-derived climate profile
How Woodburn's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Woodburn's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,258 annual heating degree days against 770 for cooling. Its 48.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Woodburn's frost-free season lasts about 175 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Woodburn's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 48.5°F. The annual average is 50°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Woodburn's 37.5 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Woodburn'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 Woodburn, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
