Unusual Weather in Euguene Oregon 1990 - Present

Notable Weather Records and Events In Eugene Since 1990

Notes:

If your "connected" to the weather, spells/events shown in the tables below are things you should remember. At the very least, if you think the present weather is odd, this provides a resource for historical comparison.

For Temperatures a "Spell" is defined as 5 or more consecutive days or 10 or more individual days in month above or below a threshold temperature. The threshold temperature is denoted by the @ symbol

For Precipitation a "Spell" is defined as some number of consecutive days that yields a much higher than average rainfall amount for that period; Dry periods are defined to be extended consecutive days in which the total accumulated rainfall is less than 0.1 inches - naturally most of these will occur during summer. In addition, specific dry or wet quarters of a year are also denoted.

Expected number of high or low temperature records in a given year is 5 if the records are completely randomly distributed over the period of record (1931-present) However, some records, particulary low temperature ones, are not random but are the result of a particular weather event (e.g. Dec 1990,Feb 1996, Nov 2003).

Ties go back to the first occurence of the record, not the last (contrary to National Weather Service convention which I think is misleading)

the @ symbol in the tables below denote the threshold temperature or precipiation value. For instance, the nomenclature Apr: 13 @67 means there were 13 days in that month where the high was at 67 or above. The nomenclature Jan 5-9 @55 means those were consecutive days where highs were at 55 or above.

The NWS stopped accurately recording snowfall data after 1996 so all listing of snow events since then are anecdotal.
