Our growing degree days, year to date, are now 327 (my closest station, Hillsboro), which is more than quadruple what they were a month ago (72 on May 31). In recent years the GDD's have barely more than doubled in that same time.
So we are catching up. But from a very deep hole. Our total is still the lowest of the past four years (15-31% lower than each of those years).
GDD's are a measure of heat, which is used as a proxy for sunshine.
