January’s Weather• The climate in January is cool and wet for the
coastal section of the Northwestern region.
• It is cooler but drier away from the coast. • The Pacific coast stays damp as moisture
comes from the Pacific Ocean.
• Higher elevations are much colder and get a lot of snow.

July’s Weather• July is warm and dry.
• The Pacific Ocean is cooler than the land, so it doesn’t provide hot humid air like other regions.
• It actually makes it cooler along the coast than inland.
• July is a sunny month for the northwest.
