					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: May 29, 2026 June in Portland is one of my favorite months of the year! Summer is just starting, roses are blooming, berry season is on the way. And we&#8217;re already counting down how to best use our 91 days of summer. So June holds a lot of promise and long-awaited summer weather. No pressure, June! Plus, since most of June is still technically spring (summer solstice is June 21, 2026), any sunny and dry weather feels like a nice surprise! The weather in Portland in June has an average high temp of 73°, and average low of 53°. But remember that&#8217;s average. So we always have some weekends of rain and some weekends of 80s or 90s as well throughout June. But in typical Northwest style, we have to be prepared for any weather, especially in the first half of the month. So here&#8217;s more info about visiting Portland in June &#8211; weather, events and my favorite things to do in Portland at the beginning of summer! Jump to: Portland June Events June has some great summer events. Downtown and the Waterfront stay busy all summer long!

					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: May 14, 2026 May in Portland can feel downright summery and is a great &#8220;shoulder season&#8221;, travel-wise. Depending on the year, it feels like a summer preview with way less spring rain and growing daylight hours. The average high temperature in May is 68°, but there are always a few 80° days scattered throughout the month. But be warned, it can still drop down to freezing at night! May is a month to be ready for all weather in Portland. So here&#8217;s more info about visiting Portland in May &#8211; weather, events and my favorite things to do in Portland at the end of spring! Jump to: Portland May Events May brings the start of summer event season. Portland starts to get busier, and Waterfront Park is usually event-central during this time, in &#8220;normal&#8221; years. Things to Do in Portland in May One of the best things about May, is that all throughout the city roses are blooming. It&#8217;s a great time to check out one of Portland&#8217;s rose gardens. The International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park is flooded with roses, and my local favorite is the Peninsula Park rose garden in North Portland. Another bonus, most [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: April 10, 2026 Ah spring! April is the start of a comfortable shoulder season in Portland. Some warmer spring weather, but still not as busy as summer gets. And April brings loads of spring events from tulip festival to beer fests and runs. April can still feel a little rainy and cold, but with an average of 12 days of rain and only 3.5 total inches of rain for the month, things are drying off and spring is in full effect. And with 13.5 hours of daylight, April is a great month to get out and explore the Pacific Northwest. So here&#8217;s more info about visiting Portland in April &#8211; weather, events and my favorite things to do in Portland in the middle of spring! Jump to: Portland April Events Portland Design Week&#160;– Design Week is another event that has hopped around over the years.

					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: February 20, 2026 March in Portland kicks off spring, after what always feels like a long winter. The worst of winter drizzle is almost over (or snow, in some cases), spring is arriving and in three months it will be summer! March is also the last month of five months of heavy rain (November through March see about 5-7&#8243; each!). So we&#8217;re beginning to see the light of spring in Portland. And with average highs in the mid 50s, it feels like things are warming up and can enjoy being outside for longer jaunts at a time. With more daylight, spring blossoms, and few crowds, March feels like a fresh start as things blossom and come back to life. So here&#8217;s more info about visiting Portland in March &#8211; weather, events and my favorite things to do in Portland at the start of spring! Jump to: Portland March Events With slightly more predictable weather, more daylight, and at least warming temperatures, the start of spring also sees more events.

					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: January 30, 2026 February is still one of Portland&#8217;s colder months. And with the grey and drizzle stretching on for what feels like ages, it can leave your spirits feeling pretty low! If you live in the PNW, February is a great time to escape to a warmer area. In lieu of a winter getaway, even a Portland-area day trip to a sunnier area can do the trick! In winter we have to make use of any sunny days. So here&#8217;s more info about visiting Portland in February &#8211; weather, events, and the best things to do in Portland, Oregon in mid-winter. February is also usually blessed with a few marvelous days or weekends of balmy sunshine. We call it February Fakeout. Yep, it even has a name! Suddenly everyone is out in t-shirts with faces pointed to the sun. And then it usually snows a little or rains or is terribly windy the next week just to remind us it&#8217;s most certainly still winter. Jump to: Portland February Events The winter months in Portland aren&#8217;t the busiest for events. I mentioned this in my When to Visit Portland post about January.

					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: January 16, 2026 It starts to feel like winter in Portland around the middle of November. While winter doesn&#8217;t officially start until late December, our short window for fall colors abruptly ends with a few big storms. From a cold and snow perspective, Portland has mild winters. We don&#8217;t get tons of snow like some areas of the Pacific Northwest. But Portland winters can still feel like such a slog! It&#8217;s cold, it&#8217;s wet, it gets dark at 4:30pm. Welcome to winter in Portland! So as usual, I like to make a list to cheer myself up and plan for seasonal adventures to pass the time, and not just survive winter, but hopefully enjoy it as well. So here&#8217;s my list of things to do in Portland in winter &#8211; events, winter activities, and bit more about what to expect from the weather and snow in Portland!

					<description><![CDATA[Last Updated: January 16, 2026 January is just about the coldest month of the year in Portland! Hello winter. So January is your best bet for experiencing some Portland snow. But more often than not, we just have rain and heavy winds. But watch out if it does snow, as we really don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re doing in snow. Even a dusting of snow can send Portland into Snowpocolypse reporting and the entire city shutting down. So here&#8217;s more info about visiting Portland in January &#8211; weather, events, and the best things to do in Portland, Oregon in the middle of winter. Jump to: Portland January Events As I mentioned in my When to Visit Portland post, January isn&#8217;t a huge month for events in Portland. Here are a few: Things to Do in Portland in January There aren&#8217;t a lot of events in January. But there are tons of wintery things to do like snowshoeing at Trillium Lake or other spots near Mt Hood, snowboarding or skiing, or visiting a lookout tower. Another favorite is getting hot chocolate at Timberline Lodge (yes, it&#8217;s the best hot chocolate in Oregon). Or stopping at Multnomah Falls or doing a rainy waterfall [&#8230;]]]></description>
