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.

Being from Southern California...

I'd have to say I'm not thrilled with the weather here in Oregon. i never liked rain, but you learn to accept the things that bother you most, especially when you're at University of Oregon. The days when the sun comes out, it's like the town is revived. Everyone stays outside soaking up the vitamin D. It's not that big of a deal that it rains 85% of the year...for most people. It's such an awesome campus, you can't let the rain get to you.

Rainy and Warmish

It rains often in Eugene, but it's a nice kind of rain, it often sprinkles lightly. Most people don't mind it, and it really gives the town a northwest vibe...
