We are traveling and exploring Spain's food, wines, and sights.
We have had a pleasant summer cruising season this year. The weather typical of a neutral ENSO current summer. Sunny days courtesy of the Pacific High. A strong Arctic jet stream rippling across the globe carrying the low cells north of Vancouver Island. This is about to change with the season as fall approaches.
Rufus shares his views on the coming fall weather pattern. Break out the raincoats.
Fall Equinox - Monday September 22
Meteorological Fall began Sept 1; Astrological Fall begins today. Your latest forecast begins as soon as you get back here with a full Mug. Ready?
Warm week ahead, with temps climbing into the mid-80s in the Willamette Valley by mid-week; a bit cooler around the Puget Sound, as usual. Still, a decent ‘summer-like’ period to get the official Fall season started. It will cool down 10 degrees or so heading into the coming Sep 27,28 weekend, because of an increasing onshore flow. However, it will remain DRY. Rain is inching closer.
Rain Week. The closing days of September & beginning of October 2025 (week of Sep 29 - Oct 3) will be WET around the entire PNW. A series of 3 systems will begin to hit the PNW, starting over northern Vancouver Island before sunrise Mon the 29th. Steady rain from northern CA to Canada will fall by mid-day Monday. Wet all day Tue to end September. The second front of the series pushes onshore overnight Tue, with plenty of rain & showers on Wed Oct 1. The final storm front of the week arrives overnight Wed, with heavy rain as Thu Oct 2 gets started, esp. Eugene north. Drying down on Fri to end the first truly ‘fall rains’ period. Temps will be rather chilly. Of course, this detailed forecast scenario could change but, for now, plan accordingly should outdoor activities be scheduled that week. Cumulative precipitation expected during ‘rain week’ is anywhere from 1.25” to 2.5” Think Mud.
Weekend of Oct 4,5: Trending showery & cooler on Sat; drier by Sunday morning but notable chilly.
Oct 6-10 week is looking dry & warmer than the previous weekend. Rain may return to end the week. Maybe.
