Boise, Meridian, Eagle & Surrounding Areas (the Climate & the Four Seasons)
If you like sunshine, then you will love the Treasure Valley! With an average of 220 sunny days, low humidity and just 12.1 inches of precipitation, our climate is ideal for spending time outside. Weather in the Treasure Valley is influenced by Pacific weather patterns which help moderate temperature extremes.
Spring: Springtime in Boise gives way to warmer afternoons highlighted with cool early mornings and evenings. As the days slowly get longer, we always love having more time to enjoy the best of the Treasure Valley from camping to exquisite dining to downtown entertainment.
Summer: Ah, summertime in Boise. Nothing quite compares. Float the Boise River, enjoy backyard BBQ with friends, head out for a hike in the foothills, boat (or just splash around) at Lucky Peak or Lake Lowell) or simply relax outdoors on the patio with family and friends.
Fall: The vibrant colors that come out across the Treasure Valley signify autumn to us all. The local foothills (just minutes from downtown) are packed with mountain bikers and hikers taking advantage of perfect cooler temperatures shared with abundant wildlife preparing for winter.
Winter: Even though the snow falls and the weather gets chilly, it doesn't keep us indoors. In the Boise area you can walk, run or ride on the Boise River greenbelt - or head up to Bogus Basin for the day with a variety of runs for all different abilities.
