It sucks, and is supposed to rain at least some of the day for the rest of the week and through the weekend. This has been the most miserable March and April in my memory. Flood of '19?  That's the 34 heading West into Corvallis a little more than three years ago.  That's the Rowing Team at Trysting Tree Golf Course after the Willamette overtopped its banks on the East side on April 10, 2019. The guy with the geodesic dome knew what he was doing - and where the flood level elevation is. Good planning. |

Portland just finished the wettest April in history, almost six inches of rain ("normal" is 2.7 or so, last year was 0.39).
Not sure what the numbers are in Corvallis, but as we locals said, April completely sucked.

Not sure what the numbers are in Corvallis, but as we locals said, April completely sucked. Portland averages 2.89" of precipitation and finished with 5.73" of precipitation. Corvallis averages 4.7" of precipitation and finished with 3.73" of precipitation, below average for April. Oregon State's own numbers are not out yet. I would be curious to see how all of the data shakes out. La Niña tends to increase precipitation in a circle roughly centered around Cape Alava with precipitation decreasing as you move away from extreme Western Washington. This is the strongest La Niña since at least the 2010-2011 La Niña. April 2011 was the fifth-coldest and 16th-wettest in Oregon's history. I believe that the 2010-2011 La Niña is the best example of a strong La Niña this century. |

Glad I can be away from here thru the winter.,Thinking back 1996 was worst flooding I have seen. We never have great Aprils. Really hard and Gods is built for the crappy climate. Maybe in 2 weeks things will turn around.

Maybe in 2 weeks things will turn around. I agree on 1996 being by far the worst flooding I've seen in W. Or. in my 70 yrs....I think I read that the 1996 flooding was a once in a 100 year happening for us....but I disagree on your "We never have great Aprils".....last year was bone dry in April with only .39 recorded in Portland---my lawn was actually turning brown from lack of water toward the end of April!....and just the year before last in 2020 Portland only recorded .79 for the month of April so 2 out of the last 3 yrs. April has been very nice. |

The 132 year average rainfall total for April at OSU's Corvallis weather station is 2.63 inches. The rainfall total was 5.28 inches for April 2022 making this the 7th wettest April in the last 132 years. April had the lowest average temperature since 1967 and had the lowest temperature at Corvallis (25) since 1968.
OSU has the longest high quality climate records for the state as many stations have either much shorter periods of record or have many gaps in the record.

Oregon State's final numbers are not on NOAA yet. I am not enough of a weather nut to know what that means. There is supposed to be a Federal dump of weather data in the next couple of weeks. |

I don't think he was referring to downpours and flooding. It has just been cold and drizzly for the past month. Not a lot of inches of rain, but drizzly every freaking day. I believe that 2017 had fewer nice days. March 2017 was the 10th-wettest in Oregon's history, as opposed to the 24th driest in March 2022. April 2017 was almost as wet, 12th-wettest. And it was cold. 36th-coldest April in Oregon's history. Not as wet as 2019 but colder and it was the every day for two months kind of wet. The early Springs of 2018, 2020 and 2021 have spoiled y'all. Back when I was in High School:   Corvallis:  Salem:  Downtown Oregon City:  Willamette Falls:  Oaks Park:  Portland (before it got really bad):   Sauvie Island:  The Army had to reconfigure 60 dams, in order to ensure that flooding was not out-of-control in Portland. My yearbook had pictures of people tubing past the High School. The worst flood since the 60s. It has been worse in Oregon before in the early Spring. They had McDonald's when you were in high school? |

The worst part of the cold and wet is that the morels are late popping. Still it is far better than last year when the dry weather resulted in few mushrooms

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Like I said, April sucked. Bigly. |
