Frequently asked
Will the sunset be good tonight in Portland?
The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.
What makes a good sunset in Portland?
Portland's rainy season makes clear evenings rare, which means when conditions align they're worth chasing hard. Summer is the window: June through September brings reliably clear skies, and the late sunset (past 9 PM near solstice) gives you a long golden hour. Council Crest and Pittock Mansion give you Mt. Hood to the east and the Coast Range to the west.
What time is sunset in Portland tonight?
Portland sunset ranges from around 4:30 PM in December to 9:03 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
