when is the worst weather time in Portland?
 

need to know.

Anytime the sun is out. It pisses them off.


Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often.......

Northwest NOVEMBER and March

Close. But it is actually November thru March.

The worst of the worst....December/January.

Don't mention the weather when you are up there ;)

Actually, add a few months to that...November through June. We have a saying, Summer starts July 5th.

january and febuary are not fun; short cold wet days

Dec and Jan always gets nice High Pressure system in...can be cold but sunny.
Bad..By bad months i man side ways rain and less then 40 deg.

Dec to Feb. During those months, always at least one period of rain every day for 30 consecutive days. Not a "trace" of rain, I mean significant rain, every day. And usually < 40 F, sometimes mid-30s F. Sucks. I'm depressed already.

Usually mid November through February...

March is usually just as wet...as it April, but the rain warms up a bit then.

I was trying to put a better spin on it....but the last couple of years, true, so true.

January/February is a high suicide rate time in the Pacific NW...

Let me put it this way. We have three to three and one half months of Summer. It starts July 4th. Other than that, it can suck. If you visit Portland, stay on the West side in Winter. East side has a wicked wind that doubles your discomfort.

Yes.

You guys are making me yearn for the Pac NW! PDX how I miss thee.

I'm starting to get a wee bit tired of the weather in the PNW. Yes, the summer is nice. Roughly July through nowish. However, weekends like the most recent one where we raced in the rain all weekend at our last event of the season make me wish for more sun. Living in the Denver area for a year spoiled me.

summer sucks -- too many photons

Truth.

We won't mention that the daylight is short. Really short.

And the endemic Vitamin D deficiency. That makes Portlanders too. Stupid. To. Use. Umbrella. S.
