Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 · 1991-2020 Statewide aggregates for Oregon computed as the simple average across its 180 station-mapped locations, each represented by its primary NOAA station (449 stations in the state network).

Climate Insight: Oregon

Oregon's climate profile is aggregated from 180 station-mapped locations and 449 NOAA weather stations reporting under the 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals program. The statewide average annual temperature sits at 51°F, which is the simple average across all tracked station-mapped locations rather than any single station's reading. Because Oregon spans multiple latitudes, elevations, and proximities to large water bodies, local conditions can differ from this headline number by wide margins; coastal, valley, and mountain stations often diverge by ten degrees or more even within a single month.

Precipitation and snowfall averages round out the climatological picture. Across Oregon, annual precipitation averages 37.6 inches, with typical seasonal snowfall near 27.4 inches statewide. These numbers combine rain, sleet, and snow water-equivalent and describe the thirty-year normal rather than any particular recent year. Readers evaluating a specific destination should drill into one of the 180 individual location profiles below; each station record varies with local geography, and the statewide figures here are averages that mask meaningful intrastate differences.

For planning purposes, the location table above is sorted to help you compare averages side-by-side: annual mean temperature, average daily high and low, precipitation totals, snowfall, and PlainClimate's climate comfort score. That 1–100 score combines temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, snowfall burden, and frost-free growing-season length from each location's NOAA normal. It is a climate-only comparison, not a NOAA or overall livability rating. Use it as a starting point, then open each location profile for the exact score inputs, monthly breakdowns, degree-day totals, frost dates, and separately reported humidity metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average temperature in Oregon?
Oregon averages 51°F a year across NOAA's 1991-2020 Climate Normals, cooler than 58% of U.S. states. That is 2.6°F below the 53.1°F average across all 50 states.
Does the climate vary a lot within Oregon?
Yes. Annual averages inside Oregon run from Crater Lake Nps Headquarters at 38°F to Cougar Dam at 57°F -- a 19°F spread between the state's coldest and warmest measured station-mapped locations. A single statewide average can mask this kind of local variation.
Where does Oregon rank nationally for temperature?
Oregon ranks #29 warmest and #22 coldest out of 50 U.S. states and territories with NOAA normals data, based on statewide average annual temperature.
What is the most comfortable station-mapped location in Oregon?
Portland scores the highest established comfort rating in Oregon at 87/100, a PlainClimate composite of annual temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, snowfall burden, and frost-free growing-season length.
