After basking in the spring sun for a bit, you’ll go back into a building, come out in your t-shirt, and need to go grab your jacket again, because it’s dropped back down to 50F. Go back inside and come out, and, surprise! A spring snowstorm blew in! After about 20 minutes of that, you’ll come back outside with your jacket again, only to realize you’re sweating hot and it’s time to go down to that t-shirt, because it’s now 75F. If you leave a building for lunch, it’ll warm up to 60 F and you’ll need to lose the jacket. You’ll start the chilly morning (usually anywhere from 20F-45F) with a t-shirt, followed by a cardigan, and a jacket on top of that.

Some years are hot summers, others are mild. Some years we have cold winters, some years are mild. Plan for 2 distinctly frigid weeks in January, and 2 distinctly sweltering weeks in August you never know exactly what the weather will bring. ![]() I will give you my honest opinions of the snow and winter, but let’s go over all the seasons (they are so beautiful here), how they will affect your life, and what you can expect out of each one.īut first, a general disclaimer about the weather in Boise: ![]() I know, I know…you want to know about the snow!
