During the Winter weeks, it rains a whole lot in the city of Portland, OR; I recognize that there are jokes about this in lots of films & cable shows, but it’s really not just a joke.
It really does rain a whole lot in Portland! Long, wet winters are just a normal area of residing in the Portland area, along with most of the western area of the state of OR, but rainy & gray afternoons come & stick around for weeks & weeks at a time, then as a matter of fact, from the month of September all the way through May, it’s usually chilly & rainy in Portland.
Don’t even think about moving here if the rain gets you down & depressed, you will really not adore it here if you crave the sunshine all year, however most of the time in the winters, there is at least a single ice storm or a snow storm, too, and those usually end up shutting down the whole city for a couple of afternoons since we aren’t used to it, & we all complain about the weather while I was in the winter. Honestly, the weather is a single of the reasons that I like to use a vitamin D supplement & a sunshine lamp. Those, along with the legalized cannabis trade here in Portland, keep me ecstatic throughout the long, dreary Winter weeks. I personally think that the summers in Portland are so great that they totally make up for the fact that the winters are so long & awful. I like it here, in spite of the rain.
