Brookings is subject to winter (and less frequently summer) temperatures considered unusually warm for the Oregon Coast or for that matter, the coast of Northern California north of Santa Cruz. Temperatures can reach 70 to 80 °F throughout the year. This is due in part to the marine influences from its location on the Pacific Ocean, but mostly from its situation at the foot of the Klamath Mountains, from which winds compress and warm the air flowing onto Brookings. This is called The Brookings Effect or Chetco effect. Periods of intense heavy rain common in the winter as are weeks of warm and sunny weather. Daffodils and other bulbs generally bloom in February. In the low lands, heavy fog is common in the summer while the coastal hills are generally sunny and cool. Inland it is warm.
The City of Brookings is the first and only Oregon city designated an Azalea City by the Azalea Society of America, and is one of only 16 cities to hold the designation across the nation.
