I’ve recently received a few emails asking about the different types of climates and their effects here in North Idaho. Our region is well-known for its many lakes, mountains and valleys and has a variety of different “microclimates” within a relatively small area.

The official reporting station for the National Weather Service for Coeur d’Alene is the Pappy Boyington Field (airport) in Hayden. Based on the proximity to water like Lake Coeur d’Alene, Lake Fernan, Hayden Lake, Lake Pend Oreille and others, many of our observers have reported temperature and precipitation figures that have varied greatly from one place to another.
