Almanac

Records within the United States come from the National Weather Service, with approximately 120 reporting stations giving records. Records for the rest of the United States, and locations outside of the United States, come from the data we have stored. These are compiled records and only go as far back as we have data for. The average high and low temperature going back as far as Weather Underground has data for OR from National Weather Service going back 30 years.
