In August, Portland averages a high of 83°F (28°C) and a low of 58°F (14°C). Most runs feel like about 71°F (22°C) once you factor in a typical morning or evening start, so dress for that number rather than the thermometer. Wet winters and dry, mild summers give Portland two very different running wardrobes.
