Eugene, Oregon, experiences wind speeds depending on the prevailing weather patterns and seasonal variations. While Eugene is not typically known for extreme wind events like coastal or mountainous areas, it can still experience gusty conditions under certain circumstances.

On average, wind speeds in Eugene range from 5 to 15 miles per hour (mph) during calm conditions. However, wind speeds can increase significantly during weather systems, such as winter storms or passing cold fronts.

Generally, wind gusts rarely exceed 30 to 40 mph during typical weather events. However, gusts may occasionally reach higher speeds during more intense weather phenomena such as winter storms or localized thunderstorms.

It's important to note that while Eugene is not prone to extreme wind events like some other regions, strong winds can still damage trees, power lines, and structures, particularly during storms with sustained winds or gusts exceeding 50 mph. Residents should stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared for windy conditions, especially at certain times of the year.
