Climate:
Only 300 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Idaho's major moisture source is maritime air from the prevailing westerly winds. This maritime influence is strongest in Northern Idaho where air arriving through the Columbia River Gorge carries more moisture than westerly flow at lower latitudes. Eastern Idaho's climate is more continental in character than Western and Northern Idaho resulting in a greater range between winter and summer temperatures. Eastern Idaho does not have a distinct wet winter-dry summer precipitation pattern. Seasonal distribution of precipitation shows a distinct pattern of winter maximum and midsummer minimum in the northern and western parts of Idaho. In Eastern Idaho, many stations show maximum monthly amounts in summer and minimum amounts in winter. In the northeastern valleys and eastern highlands, more than 50% of the annual rainfall occurs from April through September. In the same time frame, Northern Idaho receives less than 40% of its annual rainfall and portions of the Boise, Payette, and Weiser River drainages receive less than 30% of their annual amount.
