Chapter 10 - Southern Coastlands

The Southern Coastlands have a particular weather system that they are known for--humid, hot and hurricane prone!  I'll spend this post discussing the weather of Oregon.

The weather of Oregon is influenced by the Pacific Ocean, the continental air masses, and the Cascade mountains.  The temperature ranges from -54°F to a high of 119°F.


When one thinks of Oregon, rain normally comes to mind.  There are some places in eastern Oregon that get as little at 8 inches a year and some places along the coast that get up to 200 inches annually, so the weather varies greatly across the state.
