Grants Pass, where it's located




The climate of Grants Pass can be defined as almost Mediterranean, since the winters are quite mild, but are colder than in the Mediterranean climate, while the summers are hot and sunny, but with significant differences in temperature between night and day.
The city is located in southwestern Oregon, 300 meters (1,000 ft) above sea level, in the Rogue River Valley. The Klamath Mountains to the west reduce the influence of the Pacific Ocean, making the climate more continental than on the coast. Due to its position, isolated from the sea and at low altitude, in the summer, Grants Pass is one of the hottest cities in Oregon. On the hottest days of the year, the temperature can reach, and sometimes exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
The winter is generally not very cold, indeed the days can be mild, even though the temperature can drop below freezing at night. However, there can be foggy periods, in which the temperature remains low even during the day. In addition, occasionally there may be cold waves, in which the temperature can drop below -10 °C (14 °F). In December 1990, it reached -19.4 °C (-3 °F). Snowfalls are rare.
The average temperature of the coldest month (December) is of 4.3 °C (40 °F), that of the warmest month (July) is of 22.1 °C (72 °F). Here are the average temperatures.
