CENTRAL OREGON MAPS AND WEATHER
Central Oregon is a high desert climate with plenty of sunshine and dry air with low humidity. Because we are on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains, the storms that come from the west typically hit the western slope of the mountains and stop, leaving us with sunny days while the other half of the state is saturated in rain and under a layer of grey, overcast skies.

It may be hot and sunny during the day, but most of our nights are cool with temperatures dropping an average of 50 degrees in the summer months. Each Central Oregon city has its own unique weather pattern and temperatures depending on the proxmity to the mountains and elevation. For instance, Madras and Redmond have the most sun (In fact, Redmond has more sunny days than Houston, Texas), the longest growing season and almost no snow because of the lower elevation. While, Sunriver and La Pine expereince snow pack all winter long and cooler summer temperatures. The average growing season is 92 days.

We have two seasons in Central Oregon: Winter and Summer. The snow starts to fall typically around the end of October in higher elevations and will continue off and one throughout April sometimes. A typical Central Oregon winter morning is usually a dusting of snow or some ice, followed by a day of brisk temperatures under a clear blue sky. Whatever snow had fallen over night usually melts when the sun comes out. Some areas of Central Oregon experience a lot of wind like Redmond, Prineville and Madras.
