==Climate== Harbor, like the Brookings area, has a cool-summer [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Csb'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather-summary.php3?s=725973&cityname=Harbor%2C+Oregon%2C+United+States+of+America&units=|title=Harbor Oregon Climate Summary|publisher=Weatherbase|accessdate=17 December 2016}}</ref> According to the [[Trewartha climate classification]], it has a [[Subtropics|subtropical climate]] (despite being a little farther north than Chicago in latitude) and is one of the northernmost North American locations to have one. It has cool winters during which intense rainfall is broken by weeks of cool, sunny weather. Mild, dry summers with average rainfall in July and August of less than {{convert|1|in|mm}} per month are usual. There are an average of only two afternoons annually with high temperatures of {{convert|90|F|C|1}} or higher and an average of 1.5 mornings with low temperatures of {{convert|32|F|C}} or lower. The record high temperature was {{convert|108.2|F|C}} on July 9, 2008. The record low temperature was {{convert|18|F|C|1}} on December 8, 1972. The wettest “rain year” in Harbor was from July 1937 to June 1938 with {{convert|107.62|in|mm|1}} and the driest from July 1976 to June 1977 with {{convert|40.30|in|mm|1}}, although as much as {{convert|123.90|in|mm|1}} fell during calendar year 1996. The most rainfall in one month was {{convert|36.90|in|mm|1}} in December 1996. The most rainfall in 24 hours was {{convert|17.00|in|mm|1}} on October 14, 2016. Snow is rarer, but not unusual in Harbor, averaging only {{convert|0.7|in|m|3|disp=or}} per year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?or1055|title=BROOKINGS 2 SE, OREGON - Climate Summary|work=Western Regional Climate Center|publisher=Desert Research Institute|accessdate=June 19, 2013}}</ref> Because of its location, Harbor is subject to winter (and less frequently summer) temperatures considered unusually warm for the [[Oregon Coast]] or for that matter, the [[North Coast (California)|North Coast]] of [[California]]. Temperatures can reach {{convert|70|to|100|F|C|1}} throughout the year. This is due mostly to its situation at the foot of the [[Klamath Mountains]], from which winds compress and warm the air flowing onto Harbor. This is called the [[Brookings effect]] or Chetco effect, similar to the warm dry [[Santa Ana winds]] of coastal Southern California. Daffodils and other bulbs generally bloom in February. In the lowlands, heavy fog is common in the summer while the coastal hills are generally sunny and cool.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} {{Weather box | single line = Y | collapsed = Y | location = Harbor at Brookings, OR (1981–2010 normals, extremes 1913–present) | Jan record high F = 80 | Feb record high F = 83 | Mar record high F = 88 | Apr record high F = 92 | May record high F = 99 | Jun record high F = 100 | Jul record high F = 102 | Aug record high F = 101 | Sep record high F = 101 | Oct record high F = 101 | Nov record high F = 88 | Dec record high F = 79 | year record high F = 102 | Jan avg record high F = 66.1 | Feb avg record high F = 70.0 | Mar avg record high F = 71.0 | Apr avg record high F = 74.3 | May avg record high F = 79.4 | Jun avg record high F = 83.2 | Jul avg record high F = 83.4 | Aug avg record high F = 82.7 | Sep avg record high F = 89.0 | Oct avg record high F = 83.2 | Nov avg record high F = 69.0 | Dec avg record high F = 64.9 | year avg record high F = 92.4 | Jan high F = 55.4 | Feb high F = 56.8 | Mar high F = 57.9 | Apr high F = 59.9 | May high F = 64.0 | Jun high F = 67.1 | Jul high F = 68.7 | Aug high F = 68.2 | Sep high F = 68.6 | Oct high F = 65.0 | Nov high F = 58.1 | Dec high F = 54.8 | year high F = 62.1 | Jan mean F = 48.8 | Feb mean F = 49.4 | Mar mean F = 50.0 | Apr mean F = 51.6 | May mean F = 55.3 | Jun mean F = 58.3 | Jul mean F = 60.2 | Aug mean F = 60.2 | Sep mean F = 59.7 | Oct mean F = 56.2 | Nov mean F = 51.1 | Dec mean F = 48.1 | year mean F = 54.2 | Jan low F = 42.1 | Feb low F = 42.1 | Mar low F = 42.1 | Apr low F = 43.3 | May low F = 46.6 | Jun low F = 49.5 | Jul low F = 51.7 | Aug low F = 52.3 | Sep low F = 50.7 | Oct low F = 47.6 | Nov low F = 44.1 | Dec low F = 41.3 | year low F = 46.2 | Jan avg record low F = 33.8 | Feb avg record low F = 34.0 | Mar avg record low F = 34.3 | Apr avg record low F = 35.7 | May avg record low F = 39.3 | Jun avg record low F = 43.8 | Jul avg record low F = 46.8 | Aug avg record low F = 46.7 | Sep avg record low F = 44.2 | Oct avg record low F = 40.3 | Nov avg record low F = 34.8 | Dec avg record low F = 32.7 | year avg record low F = 30.0 | Jan record low F = 21 | Feb record low F = 24 | Mar record low F = 29 | Apr record low F = 28 | May record low F = 32 | Jun record low F = 34 | Jul record low F = 39 | Aug record low F = 37 | Sep record low F = 34 | Oct record low F = 24 | Nov record low F = 25 | Dec record low F = 18 | year record low F = 18 |Jan sun = 150 |Feb sun = 139 |Mar sun = 199 |Apr sun = 258 |May sun = 320 |Jun sun = 331 |Jul sun = 370 |Aug sun = 367 |Sep sun = 301 |Oct sun = 195 |Nov sun = 164 |Dec sun = 154 |year sun = | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation inch = 12.07 | Feb precipitation inch = 10.14 | Mar precipitation inch = 9.47 | Apr precipitation inch = 6.51 | May precipitation inch = 4.04 | Jun precipitation inch = 1.99 | Jul precipitation inch = 0.52 | Aug precipitation inch = 1.01 | Sep precipitation inch = 1.63 | Oct precipitation inch = 5.40 | Nov precipitation inch = 11.77 | Dec precipitation inch = 14.19 | year precipitation inch = 78.89 | unit precipitation days = 0.01 in. | Jan precipitation days = 17.3 | Feb precipitation days = 15.0 | Mar precipitation days = 17.2 | Apr precipitation days = 13.9 | May precipitation days = 8.9 | Jun precipitation days = 5.4 | Jul precipitation days = 2.7 | Aug precipitation days = 3.2 | Sep precipitation days = 4.3 | Oct precipitation days = 9.2 | Nov precipitation days = 17.4 | Dec precipitation days = 18.2 | year precipitation days = 142.5 | source = <ref name="NOAA">{{cite web |url=https://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=mfr |title=NOWData - NOAA Online Weather Data |publisher=NOAA |access-date=July 17, 2020 }}</ref> |source 2 = Worldweatheronline (sun) <ref name="WWO">{{cite web | url=https://www.worldweatheronline.com/lang/en-us/brookings-weather-averages/oregon/us.aspx |title=BROOKINGS 2 SE, OREGON|accessdate=17 July 2020 |date=July 2020}}</ref>}}
