Who can forget March of 2011. PDX set records for the number of days with measurable rainfall at 28 & number of consecutive days with rain at 23. Total precipitation for the month was 6.43", which was good for 5th place on the all-time list. The wettest March at PDX, (records date to 1941), was 7.52" back in 1957.


Today;

Portland will likely top 7.52" of rain for the month today. If so, this will become the all-time wettest March at PDX.

What ever Kesey was he nailed this type of weather. It just gets you after a while. Fully 1/2 the days this month its been impossible to get your direction from the sun, the light is too diffused. Thirty-five years here and I still long for my Carmel Valley home...

Hi Hitch,

In the Army, I lived in Germany for three years, and I would say it was sunny, maybe a little over a month out of the year. When I think of Europe, I think grey. It can be depressing. When the sun did come out, it was glorious!

Record March Wet

By Rod Hill on 01-Apr-12 02:44.

As of 6:00 p.m. March 31st, the March total PDX precipitation was 7.76". This total becomes the all-time March record for PDX. (Records began in 1941.) The old record was 7.52" back in 1957. The all-time record for all Portland locations, dating back to 1871 is 12.76", which fell in the year 1873. I have received several reports of more than 10.00" of rain this month from the Canby, Oregon City and Damascus areas. This month has seen 22 days with measurable rainfall. Last March of 2011 holds the record of consecutive wet March days at 23 & March days with rainfall at 28 days. The 2011 rainfall of 6.43" stands in 6th place all-time for PDX. Normal March rainfall is 3.68 inches.
