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 RoseVillage!
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 RoseVillage. Please
contact us today!
