Gonna Be Wet

It rains almost constantly for months. If you're not ready to deal with that, don't come here. It's not usually a hard rainfall, but more a light drizzle alongside gray skies. It's worse for the boarding students because it makes getting high a little trickier.

It's the Northwest...

You choose to come here for a reason: overcast and rainy weather. It really depends on the person, but I really love it. The first month or two are really nice, warm weather. Then, you get into the rainy season which lasts till spring. The campus is small, so it's not a big deal if you don't have a raincoat nor an umbrella. Thankfully, it is more rainy than snow so, in the winter, early classes are rarely cancelled and it's due to ice, not snow. Personally, I find the weather very relaxing.

Temperate, Raing

Bottom line - if you can't take the rain, you won't like Oregon weather. But I find it pleasant. Rarely too cold or too hot, and all the rain makes for beautiful green scenery. Winters can drag on, but summers make it all worth it.
