Daily Degree-Day Maps of Oregon

and the the new page for Oregon with interactive features

Updated daily

These maps are calculated using the GIS GRASS 4.2.1, and are based on 1) near-real time temperature data from up to 25 AgriMet , 18 HydroMet, 38 National Weather Service , and ca. 80 RAWS weather stations, 2) historical average temperature data from over 200 stations, 3) PRISM monthly max and min temperature maps, and 4) inverse-distance squared interpolations of differences between PRISM map-based and real-time degree-day calculations.  See More info. on methodology for creating DD maps. Also try out our new Degree-day Mapping Calculator for more control over calculation and mapping options.
