As someone who moved to Portland from the Bay Area ~2 years ago the weather is significantly more variable. It gets colder, has a longer (and wetter) winter, and has fewer overall sunny days. I love Portland and I don't doubt that it is a smaller variation from the Bay compared to Austin, but I just didn't want people to get the impression that Portland has Bay Area weather.
- rconti 8y agoAre you in SF or Daly City or something? Most of the bay area has vastly more sunny days than Portland (??). Hell, even SF proper should have more sun than portland. Actually, from google, Portland has 144 sunny days vs 205 national average vs 259 in San Francisco. And only 257 in San Jose (?).
- alehul 8y agoI think those descriptions are meant to be about Portland rather than SF (where the commenter moved to a couple years ago). Would be perfectly accurate in that case. :)

- chaostheory 8y agoLooking at the climate graph, Portland’s weather looks similar to sf Bay Area weather. Personally I don’t mind rain as long as it’s not hot
