Rain!!

7/3/2011
On a sunny day Portland and the whole Oregon Valley is an incredibly bueatiful place. Unfortunately, the sunny days are few an between.. I would guess that on average Portland has about 300 days of clouds/rain... and by rain I mean drizzle which may not sound as bad as heavy rain but trust me after a solid month of drizzle and NO SUN you will be crazy!! On the other hand, the Summer, once they start, is amazing. It rarely gets above 95, and in the summer it barely ever rains. an average day in July is around 80-85 and sunny :). However, summer can take a long time to start. This year (2011), we set a record for portland having the fewest June days above 80 degrees with 2!!
Overall, I hate the weather here. I need sun to function at a high level... But maybe thats just me.
Hope this helps in your desicion making!
