What type of climate does western Oregon have?

Answer 1

Well it is cold right now, and has been snowing off and on all day but not sticking to the ground. Sandy is at the 1000 foot elevation level at the east end of town.

Generally winters in Sandy have more snow than in Portland which is just 28 miles to the west and about 980 feet lower.

The average annual temperature in Sandy is 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

It does tend to rain a lot in this area being in the foothills of the Cascade mountain range and just 30 miles from Mt. Hood.

Answer 2

The average temperature will depend upon the region:

The region from the coast to the Cascades has a temperate marine climate. Because of the moderating effect that nearby ocean water has on seasonal temperatures, summers are cool and winters are mild. The average temperature of the coldest month is well above freezing, and temperatures in the warmest month are generally below 21° C (70° F).

The region of the Cascade Range and the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon have a highland type of climate, with cool summers and severe winters. The average January temperature is below freezing, and there is usually a snow cover for many months of the year. Snow is most abundant on the western slopes of the northern Cascade Range, where as much as 15 m (50 ft) accumulates during the winter. Precipitation in the coastal areas, the Cascades, and the Blue Mountains is the highest in the state. It reaches its maximum on the western slopes of the northern Oregon Coast Range, where it may exceed 3800 mm (150 in) annually.

All the regions of the western slopes of the Oregon Coast Range, Klamath Mountains, and Cascade Range capture moisture from the winds off the Pacific and have at least 1300 mm (50 in) of precipitation yearly. The Willamette Valley and parts of the Blue Mountains have about 750 to 1300 mm (about 30 to 50 in) of precipitation.

The region of the eastern two-thirds of Oregon, including the Basin and Range province and most of the Columbia Plateau region except the Blue Mountains, has a semiarid mid-latitude climate. Summers are warm and winters are cold. Precipitation is about 250 to 500 mm (about 10 to 20 in) annually. There are within this large region a few deserts, or arid areas, with less than 250 mm (10 in) of precipitation yearly. One such area is found along the Columbia River, near Umatilla; another, in central Oregon just east of the Cascades; and a third, in the vicinity of Vale, near the state's eastern border.
