Weather by month
Bend
Oregon
High-desert sun on nearly every day of the year, wrapped around nights that stay cold no matter what the afternoon got up to.
The best time to come
June through September is the easy answer — warm, bone-dry, and light until late, with September the calmest of the four. If you are coming for Mt. Bachelor instead, January and February are your months; the town runs two completely separate seasons and prices accordingly.
