“Wet days” have at least 0.01" of rain or melted snow. “Snow on ground” counts days with 1" or more. The 30-year range is the coldest and warmest that month’s average temperature got between 1991 and 2020.
Rain and snow in Green
Green gets 32 inches of rain and melted snow a year. December is the wettest month and July the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 138 days a year.
About 237 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by March 23 and the first one by November 18. That leaves about 237 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 88% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Green
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Green, 85% of that work is heating and 15% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.
How Green compares
Compared with every U.S. town and city on TownTapestry, each counted once.
Warmer than it used to be
The last 30 years in Green averaged 1.8° warmer than the 1900s. The biggest change is in January (+2.7°). The shift is larger than in 87% of U.S. towns.

How much a month can swing
A normal is an average, and real years wander around it. July swings the most: between 1991 and 2020 its average temperature ranged from 64° to 75°. September is the most reliable, staying within 6°.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Green itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Roseburg Kqen, OR (4 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
