Elevation:
Central Oregon's territory lies just east of the Cascades, the mountain range which divides the dry and wet sides of the state. The closeness of the peaks contributes to city elevations starting at around two thousand feet above sea level. |
|
Temperature:
Moderate temperatures attribute to an enjoyable climate. Central Oregon temperatures are warm in the summer and cold in the winter. Temperatures drop in the evenings year round.
|
|
Precipitation:
Precipitation in the form of rain, sleet, hail and snow ranges average 8 - 15 inches.
The Cascade Mountains keeps most of Oregon's precipitation over in the valley and on the coast, so Central Oregon receives very little rain. |
