Roseburg, Sexton Summit and The Dalles did not report any rainfall during the month, but these are not uncommon occurrences. Each of these present recording sites has multiple days during the month on which rain has never been recorded. There are official rain gauge recording sites, however, at which rainfall has never been recorded on only one day during the entire year. These sites did not receive rainfall on those respective dates this year, either. Indices increased during the month to wetter values.
Most basins are at least in the moderately moist category.
The Grande Ronde and John Day basins are in the moderately moist category, one category higher than they were at this time last year. Southeast Oregon basins have the lowest values with essentially neutral conditions. Coastal areas are in the slightly moist category. The first eight to ten days were cool in most of the state. Overall, however, average temperatures were close to normal, with slightly above normal readings at the coast.
