“Today will be the hottest day of the year, so far,” said Les Colin, lead forecaster at the National Weather Service Office in Boise, where he and his fellow meteorologists are tracking a significant high pressure system and its grip over southern Idaho.

The National Weather Service released its June outlook today. It doesn’t look great for Utah, Nevada, Colorado or New Mexico. Part of all of those states are expected to have higher than normal temperatures and lower than normal precipitation. Parts of northern Idaho and Wyoming are expected to stay cooler in June with more precipitation, but heat up later in the summer.

Yes, southern Idaho got some snow last week – with emphasis on “some.” In fact, February was one of the driest on record.

It's December in the Mountain West but it's been downright balmy, with high temperatures breaking decades-old records around the region.

AAA estimates nearly 290,000 Idahoans will be traveling this holiday week; and in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, officials at the Boise Airport are expecting passenger counts to rival pre-pandemic levels.

If you like daylight, you’re in luck today: There will be 15 hours and 25 minutes of daylight June 21, to be exact. Indeed, summer has officially arrived. “Right now, we're at our maximum tilt towards the sun,” said Michael Cantin, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service Office in Boise.

Thursday's forecast of triple-digit heat in Boise will easily surpass the previous record of 98 degrees for June 3. But what are the larger implications of it being this hot, this early?
