Continuing to track "normal" temperatures in W. Oregon
In W. Oregon, since about May 31, temperatures have been almost exactly normal, ending the cool wet weather during the last 3 weeks of May. We are now getting "back on track" with pest developments. In Central Oregon (Madras), it has not "caught up" with historical average degree-day accumulations. In fact, using a 41F lower threshold, all of far east and Southeast Oregon are "behind" by 30-200+ degree-days, making this a very cool year so far in those regions.

In the Willamette valley, so far, cabbage loopers are being trapped in moderately high numbers, but black cutworm numbers are low. Counts of bertha armyworm have been near zero and corn earworm has been zero so far. Send in any reports from other regions and crops of pest developments to me at coopl@bcc.orst.edu. Check the Oregon Climate Service or The Weather Channel for the latest forecasts.

A new feature of this web site is the "file-upload" version of the degree-day model - now you may use your OWN weather data files to run the crop and pest models.

Cumulative Degree-Day comparisons created using JAVA degree-day calculator

The updated graph shows that in Forest Grove (as in most of W. Oregon), the degree-day accumulations have been normal for the past 24 days, and have nearly caught up with 1997 (which had a cool late June/early July). In Madras (Central Oregon), temperatures have also been near normal, but are lower than both 1997 and the historical normals.
