In February, Portland averages a high of 51°F (11°C) and a low of 37°F (3°C). Most runs feel like about 44°F (7°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.
