The first day of summer arrived Friday, June 20, at 4:42 p.m. On that day, the sun angle was the highest in the sky and the Northern Hemisphere experienced the highest number of daylight hours. The exact number of hours and minutes did vary across most towns and cities due to differences in elevation, terrain and proximity within the time zone. For this year, Coeur d’Alene’s longest day was June 20 as we had 15 hours, 59 minutes and 47 seconds of day length. As we move into the summer season, our daylight hours will slowly start to decrease.
The astronomical spring of 2025 in Coeur d’Alene, which began March 20 and continued through June 19, was the driest in history based on Cliff’s records dating back to 1895. For the meteorological spring of March, April and May of 2025, it was also one of the driest in history. The normal precipitation for the three months is 6.07 inches in Coeur d’Alene. This year, only 2.66 inches was measured at Cliff’s station, less than half of normal. In 2021, the 3-month period was slightly higher with 2.80 inches.
