Weather and Sunset Climate Zones

Eastern Oregon experiences a semi-arid continental climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters. The region falls within Sunset Climate Zones 1-3, which means gardeners need to select plants that can withstand temperature fluctuations and low humidity levels. In general, the weather in Eastern Oregon is quite dry, with precipitation concentrated in the winter months, mostly as snow. Despite the aridity, gardeners can still create thriving gardens by selecting appropriate plants and implementing water-wise practices.
