Oregon is a state located in the western United States. It is near a large body of water; namely the Pacific Ocean. In effect, the climate in Oregon is mild. However, in some locations, the climate is on the extremes. Extreme hotness or coldness is experienced in select parts because of the amount of precipitation that it receives annually. For example, in the eastern part of Oregon where desserts are found, the amount of rainfall is only about 200 millimeters or 8 inches a year. On the other hand, there are areas where the amount of rainfall can go up to 5000 mm or about 200 inches a year. These are parts where coastal slopes are found.
