The climate is mild with an average annual maximum
temperature is around 68.0, annual minimum 40.9. Average annual
precipitation is 29.5 inches. Snowfall is minimal - 2.3 inches
per year Our ideal climate
provides a minimum of precipitation, unlike our neighbors to the
west. Our average rainfall is just under 30 inches and we boast
a very gentle wind velocity. Visitors
can plan on warm, sunny days and cool, dry evenings from mid-May
through mid-September
The climate is so good, in fact,
that the valley had an active agricultural industry around the
turn of the century. The Rogue Valley is still known as "pear
country," and you can see trees from the old orchards around the
Medford-Ashland area. The climate is also conducive to growing
grapes, and we have many Wineries and Vineyards here.
