Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area: Annual Monthly Climate Normals and Atmospheric Data

Name: Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area monthly climate normals
Creator: NASA POWER

Annual climate cycles for Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area based on NASA POWER measurements collected from 1991 to 2020. This data provides a detailed profile of long-term temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and daylight variations across twelve months. Values represent climatology at a single point and offer a clear understanding of atmospheric patterns throughout the calendar year.

Long-term monthly temperature averages and daily precipitation rates across twelve calendar months

Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area Annual Climate Normals and Monthly Temperature Patterns

Average minimum, mean, and maximum temperatures track a steady annual progression across the twelve months, reaching peak thermal levels during late summer before declining toward winter. Average daily precipitation rates shift inversely across the coordinate normals, recording highest daily totals during winter months and lowest rates through midsummer.

Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area Weather by Month and Twelve-Month Climate Records

Analyze twelve distinct monthly records covering average temperature ranges, precipitation rates, humidity, and wind speeds sampled at a representative coordinate. Comparing these baseline climate normals across the full annual cycle reveals long-term atmospheric patterns without relying on single annual averages.
