And… it is somewhat well known for its weather too. Dominated by wet winter westerlies blowing in from the Pacific each year, its exposed coasts feature some of the highest rainfall in the world, and sport temperate rainforests. Individual areas within the Pacific Northwest vary in terms of rainfall. British Columbia is cooler and wetter than Washington State, and in turn with Oregon.
In the first of my Climate Casebook series, I look at the curious case of the Pacific NW Climate. Is it Oceanic like Britain? Or is it more like a Mediterranean climate with its dry summers?
🌧🌧☁️⛅️☀️☀️☀️⛅️☁️🌧🌧
The Pacific Northwest climate is actually a hybrid of the classic Mediterranean hot dry summers / wet winters pattern, and the Oceanic mild summers and rain all year round. It has very similar winter and summer temperatures to England, but it has the wet winter and dry summer patterns of California. Oceanic temperatures meets Mediterranean rainfall patterns.

Seattle native here, I've lived in a few places both in the US and in Europe, and I have yet to find somewhere with weather I enjoy as much as in Cascadia. It's the best of both world, with the refreshment that the winter rains brings and greenery along with it, and the glorious summers that are hot and dry but never feeling oppressive, as well as everything in between. Our unique climate is definitely a source of pride!

I live in Seattle, the summers here are just fantastic. The rest of the year is so wet that even though we’re quite dry in the summer, most things stay very green, which can not be said for other Mediterranean climates.

i've lived in portland for the first 10 years of my life and have lived in seattle ever since, and i absolutely love it. I love the rain. I love the overcast winters. I dont get why so many people hate the rain. Maybe im just weird.

Seattleite here. Lived all my life here, it's pretty nice. I've learned to love the gray, rainy days, and embrace the warm, sunny days.
On the rare occasions when snow or thunder moves through, it's a welcome gift rather than a pesky burden. (Well, except for windstorms, which occur a couple times a winter and often knock out power across the region.)

The pineapple express phenomena is a very specific one in which warm subtropical air laden with moisture (known as an atmospheric river) flows from the warmer regions of the north pacific to the pacific northwest. This accounts for a significant portion of the rainfall each year as these events produce large amounts of precipitation (and much of the year's flooding in the rivers of the Puget Sound lowlands and Willamette valley), but pineapple expresses occur only a few times a year. Most of the time rainfall events are simply caused by the incursion of the Aleutian low during the winter months which draws the cool, moist air off the coast inland where orthographic lift and other factors cause precipitation. During the summers, the inverse happens. The Aleutian low retreats and is replaced by the more southerly North Pacific high during a transitional period between April and early July which accounts for low humidity/precipitation and high sunshine levels during the summer. Early summer, however, can be quite cloudy due to a phenomena known as May Gray/June Gloom during which high temperatures inland and cool ocean temperatures create an inversion and low clouds cover the lowlands west of the Cascade crest.

Pacific Northwest here.....having lived here for over 20+ years, this region is none other than places I have lived around the world. No joke, you can have a sunny day out, but then from one small cloud comes some rain. Then, in the winter, you get a drench of snow, but then days later, the weather is pretty springy! WTF, but I love it. You will notice the natives wear all-weather gear all year, no umbrellas.

New Yorker who lived in Seattle for about 5 months a few years back. I’ve never had a better summer, weather-wise.

I grew up near the coast in southwestern Washington, and I've always loved the forest.
We get more than twice the amount of rain here than in Seattle. We can go over a week at least without a break from the rain. I hated it until I moved with my dad throughout southern California for a few years. People thought I was nuts to hate the rain since they hardly got any there. And being in a very hot area near palm springs, I got sick of the sun, heat and lack of trees.
Then last year I've moved back to Southwestern Washington and I've appreciated the rain so much. I still get a little bored with it after a while, but I appreciate it more than I ever did. I know this comment was long, I just wanted to share it with the web.

I live just west of Portland’s West Hills and have for many years. There are so many microclimates here that it makes generalizing difficult. But I’d say that every summer brings a dread now. Temperatures above 30C or 94F for over 30 days is tremendously taxing physically and financially, especially when combined with a urban heat island effect, neighborhood poverty, and lack of tree canopy for shade. We’ve also gotten a taste for the horror of wildfire pollution and threats.
So that’s summer in the PNW as of 2020. It’s lovely and with a bitter aftertaste of dread.

Lived in Vancouver BC most of my life. When I traveled to London a few years back I found myself constantly putting on and taking off my jacket (May) and having the rain start and stop constantly. This was quite foreign to me because over here the weather changes slowly. I can see clouds approaching from the south west and know I have about 1-3 hours before the rain starts. And generally it will rain for at least most of the day after that. In winter the rain might not stop for several days and just go from light to heavy to light etc.
During the heat wave last year we didn't get rain for something like 45 days and I was so happy to sit in a chair outside when it finally did.

I live in Seattle, too. I love it here. I do admit the winters are a bit dreary. But in late spring and into early fall, it is beautiful. Blue water, tall white mountains, green trees and fields. Just love it.

Man you are a hero!! Please keep making this videos, it's so interesing! I wonder why we always have dark grey skies here in The Netherlands. Maybe you can compare cities. Like comparing Amsterdam with New York. Or London with New York. Keep it up!

There's also inland places in the Pacific Northwest that experience high diurnal temperature changes (85-95 degree Fahrenheit in the day and 50-65 degrees Fahrenheit in the night) (such as Medford, Eugene, Kennewick, Walla Walla, Richland, Spokane, Salem, etc.), yet their winters are warmer than areas at lower latitudes (such as Chicago, Fort Wayne, Cleveland,
Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc.)

Interestingly the Oregon and California border shows a marked difference in annual cloud cover and dreariness. Redwood trees barely grow past the California/Oregon border.

From Eugene, Oregon here. Great video. I am fascinated by climate, and Oregon's climates are among the most diverse in the world. We have everything from the subtropical climate of the southern Oregon coast (the Chetco effect) to the more oceanic climate of the northern coast, to alpine tundra, semi-arid steppe and desert climates. The town of Seneca, Oregon has a subarctic climate, and there are areas in the Cascades with a rare Csc-type climate (Mediterranean continental). We're far enough north to have glaciers, yet mild enough to have palm trees (plant hardiness score of 8 in Portland - same as southern Louisiana!). Another thing unique about Oregon is that western Oregon has some of the mildest winters in the country, but Oregon as a whole has the 5th coldest summers. What an amazing place to live! And in many ways, it does seem very much like Scotland and Ireland, but with warmer and drier summers.

Hello Ben! Happy to see the start of a New series, I think that was the most controversial in the last series (Mediterranean episode), I've passed all my life having clearly that Seattle had an Oceanic climate until now. Despite the climates are classified into differents types always are some that are hybrid between two or more climate, they are going lightly degradating from hot to warm to cool... or to dry to more and more wet. Thanks once again for bring us another interesting and beautiful episode!!

Awesome focused video... I wish you can bring more videos like these telling us about specific places.

Thank you for making this video. Too many people insult the PNW purely because of our winters. This area is more than just rainy winters. In fact, it's because of those rainy winters that we have such beautiful summers. Our plant life stays lush and green in Summer because of all the rain we get. I've lived in Oregon all my life and I love it.

Born raised in Corvallis Oregon since 1989. It's my favorite thing ever when it's kind of stormy or cloudy foggy rainy days I love exploring our forest's in that weather. As of these last few years tho the climate has been like we live in lower California tho, it's way drier, it gets way hotter now, seasons are different, we used to have very noticeable springs and now it just go from light winter to feels like our old summers and now the summer summer is way hotter then it used to be most of my life of 32 yrs. Mostly it just doesn't rain as frequently thru the year minus summer like it used too. I hope we can keep our temperate lush rainforest ecosystems Because I love our forest's, moss, fungi, lichen, ferns, dense wilderness everywhere. Its literally my favorite thing in the world and it got me into photography when I got sober and overcame some past addictions I just happened to find going out and taking photos was a very therapeutic thing for me to do not just physically but mentally and with my 2 dogs it's a great exploration experience each time lol 😆

Let the controversy continue! Is it Mediterranean, or Oceanic? Or something in between?
