Local
Weather
Cave
Junction is located about 35 to 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean.
The coastal range of hills
provide a buffer from ocean storms so that we have a mild
climate. Summer temperature
will go
over 100 degrees for a few days. The nighttime
temperature will drop to 55 or 60 degrees, making
for comfortable sleeping. Winter will see about 20
degrees as an average low. Rainfall averages
50 to 55 inches, most of which occurs in December &
January. June, July and August are usually dry.
Since our valley is somewhat isolated from major weather
patterns, there are normally no large
storms and damaging winds. Snow fall is a few inches on
the valley floor. The surrounding hills
with elevations over 5000 will receive a few feet of
snow. The last snow is usually gone from the
higher elevations by the middle of June. The preceding
is not a scientific report on the weather
but rather a distillation of local observations!
