Heh. Repost the weather stats on February 15th. That is, if the new arrivals haven't already gnawed through their housing walls in an attempt to find a break in the clouds.

Seriously. I could make Minnesota sound good too, if I didn't mention the months of October through March.
Okay, I admit it, I'm just bitter and jealous.

I grew up and lived and worked on the east coast. I know heat & humidity. I've lived in heat & humidity. And Oregon doesn't _have_ heat and humidity. Not often, anyhow--and definitely not for weeks or months on end. That's one big reason I live here now.
The first couple of summers I was out here, I routinely underestimated the temperature by about twenty degrees. "Boy, it's hot today," I think. "It must be 80 degrees!" No, it was 100 degrees--but the absence of life-sapping humidity makes that much difference.

I was just saying the same thing to my Mom this morning. Of course, she knows better. A correction to your title: Three Reasons to Visit Portland in the Summer.

i used to live in North Carolina, and even though it was sunny from April to October, it was almost impossible to even do anything outside all summer due to the humidity.
