From rainy days to lightning flashing in the sky during a summer thunderstorm and enormous waves on the coast, Oregon photographers love capturing special moments during extreme Oregon weather. Here are 19 photos that show off why Oregon’s crazy weather is so special.
Rainy Oregon Days
Rainy days are good for curling up by the fire with a good book, a warm pair of socks, a hoodie, and a cup of hot coffee. They’re also perfect for exploring Oregon’s forests. There’s nothing quite like water dripping from the leaves overhead and the rushing waters of an otherwise quiet creek filled by the rain.

Thunderstorm sunset photos are some of the best a photographer can hope for, and some photographers chase thunderstorms for the fantastic lightning shots.
