The
City of Roseburg, county seat of Douglas County, is surrounded
by what has become known as the "100 Valleys of the Umpqua." [Pronounced "Uhm-Quawh"].
It is located about 50 miles inland from the beautiful Pacific
coastline.
The
mild seasonal characteristics are well defined with gradual changes
noted between our definite four seasons. Springs are beautiful
and green as sunshine and temperatures increase. Summers are
sunny (e.g., only five cloudy days in the average July), with
very little rain. The temperatures stay mostly in the comfortable
70's and 80's. Temperatures will creep into the 90's a few times
each summer, but highs over 100 degrees are very rare. Best of
all, it's never too humid here. In July, our hottest month, the
relative humidity averages only from 54% at 10:00 a.m. down to
34% at 4:00 p.m.
Dry
weather continues into mid fall, as sunny "Indian Summer" falls
are the norm (note from the chart above that the average high
temperature for October is a warm 66 degrees). The winters are
more rainy, but snow in the valleys is rare. The average temperature
for January, our coldest month, is a mild 48 degrees. In all,
our summers aren't too hot and our winters aren't too cold. We
have the perfectly mild climate that you've been looking for.
Another
thing that we locals take for granted is the amazing lack of
wind here. At an average wind speed of only 4 to 6 miles per
hour, Douglas County is one of the least windy places in the
entire U.S.A. So if you'd like to be able to barbecue without
having lead weights on all your paper dishes, come to Littlebrook!
Finally,
Roseburg has no hurricanes, no tornadoes, no windstorms, no blizzards,
no hailstorms and no droughts. We are not in a high seismic activity
zone for earthquakes!
The
bottom line is that if you're looking for a place to escape the
heat, cold, wind, earthquakes, storms, and bugs, we have your
lot waiting for you right here in Littlebrook. Please contact
us today!
