Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In Eugene, expect rain—a lot of it. There is no avoiding this part of the climate, and you can most definitely expect it for six or more months of the year. However, this near-constant downpour adds to the lush beauty of the UO’s campus, making everything very green. Oregon generally receives a mild dose of all four seasons, without any especially excessive weather. The autumn is cool and calm, winter cold and wet, and spring warm and bright. If you’re around for summer, expect high temperatures and a lot of opportunities for fun in the sun.

Students often complain about the rain, but most learn to adjust and dress appropriately. Many appreciate the sun much more when it comes around, and there is really no better place than Eugene on a warm spring day. It’s key to dress in layers and carry an umbrella all the time because Oregon’s climate can catch you off guard pretty easily.

Constant Rain

I like the rain, so I don't have much of a problem with it. The constant rain also makes students appreciate the sun a lot more.

Rains SOOOOOO Much

The weather here at U of O is typical of Oregon: Rains for what seems like everyday 6 to 8 months out of the year, but come July, August, and September, boy you better have air conditioning!! It's very windy, but as long as it isn't raining it's tolerable. It does snow, though not much, and can get to be extremely cold especially at night in winter. You can normally see your breath right in front of you during December

It rains, quite a bit. Spring is pleasant, and summer is generally mild. It snows late in January usually, but it infrequently causes longterm problems. Campus has only been shut down once because of a blizzard, back in the 80's. If you live off-campus, the snow/ice might cause some problems, but it's usually in the more outlying areas.
