Why does Oregon have a wet climate?

Answer 1

Oregon has a wet climate because the jet stream usually can run at this area. Also, Low Pressure systems form southwest ofAlaska, hit Alaska and bulls eye right around the southern Canada area. The Low pressure systems are really big, so the rain and clouds usually never miss Oregon. Sometimes the low pressure systems bulls-eye Oregon. Some storms roll in with 50 mph winds!

Answer 2

Oregon has a wet climate because it is located in the Pacific Northwest, near the Pacific Ocean. The prevailing westerly winds bring moisture-laden air from the ocean, resulting in frequent rain and cloudy conditions. The presence of the Cascade Range also contributes to the wet climate by causing orographic lifting, which leads to increased precipitation on the western side of the state.

Answer 3

Oregon lies off the Pacific Ocean...this is where small to large low pressure weather systems start.
